2021 BigPicture Natural World Photography Competition
Photo Story: Out of the Ordinary

Yukon Territory, Canada

“Each winter, grizzly bears go fishing near Klukshu and other First Nations villages of the Yukon, delaying their hibernation to catch some of the late spawning salmon runs. Fishing in subzero temperatures, when the creek water freezes to their fur, the bears are covered in icicles that dangle as they walk, tinkling like chandeliers. But with winter arriving later each year, and rivers—which carry the salmon—disappearing due to receding glaciers, this extraordinary ice bear phenomenon may melt away.

I love this photo too, which is why I posted it. If I had posted one of the bears instead we wouldn't have the village for context. 🐻

I love this photo. Don't see ice bears here, though. The instructions above take care of that.

"The Mayor." Yes, he is a real sight. And you are most welcome, Kalola!

"The Boss" is awsesome. He ought to be able to dig a super fantastic den with those amazing long blond nails. Interesting. Thanks Bill.

Bill_I_Am

It is! And those ice-covered bears are something to see. You're welcome, Gayle!
