Description

In this episode, I recount the full event of the harassment and sedation of the Polar Bear by the Norwegian Polar Institute on my recent April Svalbard expedition (Full Trip Report Coming Soon). This is a true and accurate recounting of the events as they unfolded in front of my eyes and the eyes of twelve other photographers (plus the ships captain and first mate) from the bridge of the expedition ship M.S Freya.
