Photograph by @paulnicklen // Who is watching whom? A mother and her young cub watch from a distance as tourists gather around a sleeping bear near Churchill, Manitoba. Polar bears gather at this spot as it is the first point that the sea ice will freeze in the fall. From here, they will head out onto the frozen sea and search for seals for the winter before being forced off the melting ice in the spring. Sea ice is melting earlier each spring and freezing later each fall due to warming temperatures. #follow #me as I dedicate this week to Polar Bears on @paulnicklen. #nature #naturelovers #thejourney #instagood #family #tbt #bear #polarbear #climatechange #beauty #smile #climatechange #love #beauty
