Bears on a Berg

A female polar bear and her yearling perch atop a huge snow-covered iceberg near Baffin Island, Canada. To me, the relative smallness of these creatures when compared to the immensity of the iceberg in the photo represents the precariousness of the polar bear’s reliance on the sea ice.
