Landscape, Svalbard - 7

A shot taken at about 1am one morning when we'd been awoken to see a polar bear swimming around the boat (at a distance). The bear was too far away and the light too poor to get any good pictures, but just before retiring to bed again some shafts of sunlight broke through the cloud for a few minutes.
