The Polar Bear family is in a battle if survival in the high Arctic in north Svalbard, as the world changes around them and global warming is a fact and Polar Bear's survival is absolutely uncertain.
The single mother is the true heroine of the story, she must breast feed her cubs with super fat milk for them to grow, she must take care and protect them in the harshest environments on earth and of course hunt to sustain herself and her two little babies before the darkness of winter comes to the north pole. She is truly a super mother of the arctic and her story is inspiring.
In the images: traveling between the fjords; family warmth; Angry Mother ; Breastfeeding twins ; Moment of Life ; Family survival
