Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) standing on an iceberg in the
Arctic sea 83 degrees north of Svalbard. The bear was
wandering and jumping from iceberg to iceberg to come closer
to our boat. Polar bears are very curious. While going from one
iceberg to the other this bear was always looking or sniffing for
food. Behind the animal, at the horizon, the sun is very slowly
setting down with magnificent arctic sunset colors. This was
taken at 83 degrees north in the pack-ice of the Arctic Sea,
north of Svalbard, Norway. IUCN lists polar bears as Vulnerable
animals.

• Biography
  My name is Anette Mossbacher, and I am a nature photographer with a deep-seated interest in the natural world. https://anettemossbacher.com/about-anette-mossbacher/ It has been my life’s work to photograph wildlife species, and majestic landscapes, on virtually every continent of the Earth. Some of my favorite memories include photographing the orangutan in the verdant rainforests, capturing images of lions and majestic elephants proudly strolling the African savannah, and getting up close and personal with polar bears in the Arctic Sea.
