Stunning Nikon wildlife shots

This photograph of a polar bear on drift ice was shot at a latitude of 82° north. The animal had caught a seal and was just finishing its meal. Using a two-and-a-half metre pole-cam system and a screen, I was able to compose the image I had in mind – a polar bear in its harsh environment of water and ice. Documenting this habitat and pointing out the effects of climate change is important to me as a photographer.
