[National Geographic] Polar Bear (북극곰)


Northwest Territories, Canada
1998
Flip Nicklin

“More than 5,000 visitors a year ride outsize vehicles called Tundra Buggies to see the famed Hudson Bay polar bears near Churchill. All are admonished by guides to keep a healthy distance from curious bears that approach their buggies. In this case only photographer Nicklin was a passenger. In 1983 a tourist from Milwaukee [Wisconsin] was severely mauled when a bear nearly pulled him through an open window.”

???From “Polar Bears: Stalkers of the High Arctic,” January 1998, National Geographic magazine
