Photographic interest A jewel of the planet
The place I have photographed the polar bear is on a remote place on Svalbard. Svalbard is a absolutely fantastic place to visit and the best way to do so is by boat. Many tour operators arrange photo expeditions around Svalbard. Each season has its own wonders.
