A hugely exciting morning today on the North Slope of Alaska. I think we deserve it because the last 72 hours have been very tough both weather wise and content wise. But we fancied our chances from about 5am as the storm passed. We had done our homework and had the very best local guide.

It’s moments like this and images like this that make all the compromises so worthwhile. We are very privileged to work so closely with such a magnificent animal as the adult polar bear. Now off to Deadhorse…that sounds a treat in itself.
