Description
Polar Bears are excellent swimmers, regularly swimming distances of 50km or more (30 miles), and occasionally much further as sea-ice coverage continues to decline in the arctic.
Occasionally whilst I've been working in the arctic we spot them in open water, far from land, and on a couple of occasions one has swim closely past our vessel whilst at anchor, allowing this close-up photography.

CharMaine Added How beautiful the polar bear . . . the way God designed it; how beautiful the water, deep, blue and breathtaking . . . the way God designed it; how beautiful the Artic . . . the way God designed it. If you take your vessel to the other side, you will find the ice . . . the way God designed it. Polar Bear population has actually increased as of late. But they won't tell you that truth . . . ah the way man designed it. Majestic animals . . . let's enjoy their beauty. The way God wants us to.
