Checking for polar bears

Two guides with rifles by an old trappers cabin on remote Denmark Island, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. One scans the distant terrain with binoculars to check for the presence of polar bears and other wildlife.

Judith; both, but safety first.

    Makes me wonder if they are hoping for Polar Bears for the sake of the group's viewing pleasure, or just looking out for the safety aspect.

    I like this shot a lot and it tells quite a story. I'm sure this is an important job for the guides. Super shot!

    A little unnerving to think about polar bears lurking around while taking landscape images! Glad you had protection just in case! Nice photo~!
