Photograph by @Paulnicklen taken while on assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック // Nature never ceases to amaze, impress and inspire. As a biologist and naturalist I have had a long fascination with the stories that wildlife footprints tell. When I look at these two sets of tracks of polar bears in Svalbard, Norway, I see the zig-zag pattern of a female bear who is in estrus during the spring. She would have been walking during a heavy downfall of snow. She would have compressed that snow with her weight and later, strong winds would have removed the excess snow leaving a set of elevated tracks as if they were cast in plater. Next to her tracks are those of a much larger male bear who would have been sniffing the polar wind in search of a mate. With his powerful nose, he would have caught her scent and followed her in a much more direct and determined nature. I am so excited to be able to share these images as fine art in my gallery in SoHo, New York city. The grand opening is today from noon until 9pm. #followme on @paulnicklen to get more details. I hope to see you there. #fineartwithpurpose #nature #naturelovers #adventure #gratitude @sea_legacy #polarbear #snow #ice #beauty
