Another bitterly cold day. The guides have found ten polar bear dens, but only two of them have broken though, so we went to the far den today. This polar bear really wants out. She popped her head out about a dozen times for up to 30 seconds, but just wouldn’t come out. I would imagine that she will be out tomorrow… I hope. At least seeing a bear regularly throughout the day made the time go quicker. When we have good polar bear sightings the day goes by quite quickly regardless of how cold it is. At least today we got a picture of a polar bear...well sort of.
Five more days to go. There is another group of wildlife and nature photographers here that has three more days left. They are starting to feel a little anxious. They got here three days before us and their best pictures (just a head) came today but I am optimistic that they should have some good polar bear sightings in the next three days. Our problem tomorrow may be the snow. It snowed today and will be snowing tonight so if either polar bear leaves her den tonight she may not leave any tracks and we could miss them completely. But that is the worst-case scenario. Oh well, fingers crossed. Baby polar bear pictures tomorrow I hope...
