Here is a picture I took today. Let’s have some fun with it. Submit your best caption via the comments section here by the time I get home late Monday night. Whoever writes the best caption (e.g. most clever, funniest, etc.) will get an unframed print of any one picture of their choice in the blog’s photo galleries.

On our first day out on the tundra, we were pretty lucky and saw a lot of activity. We left on the buggy about 8am and returned about 4pm which correlates pretty well with sunrise and sunset here. During that time, we saw many polar bears – probably a dozen or so. Two of them came up to the tundra buggy and checked us out, two young males sparred a bit, and there were a few mothers with cubs. The weather varied a bit between bright overcast skies to blustery, snowy , and dark gray but overall, it was cold but it wasn’t too cold. Here are a few pictures.
