Christophe,
Brown bears are usually hibernating in early October. This shot was taken in middle October, a little late for bears to be around, but there was a caribou carcass it was feeding on.
Not to add another Pat to this comment stream (this one is from California), but this is such an awesome collection of images. I’m especially fond of the stoic look of the moose in the falling snow, and the musk ox that looks like if it stands there much longer it will end up completely encased in ice! Stunning images!
Pat, Patrick and Pat,
I don’t even know that many Patricks! That makes four in a tiny post, interesting. Thanks for your comments guys. And that would be Patrick in Alaska.
Picture taken on Eureka Island. It looks very familar…..I live in Cambridge By, Nunavut which I had travelled by snow machine up between Canada and Greenland with the military/Canadian Rangers. Just before reaching Alexandre Fiord were like these three different leveled glaciers/plateaus….I think my picture is the same as yours….did you go there by float plane? (Must of)….looking forward to hearing from you. Kevin. We then can share photos…
Patrick–Major, major envy on that lynx shot. Wow!! Hope all is well. Pat
Patrick–Major major envy on that lynx shot. Wow! Haven’t seen too many of those. Hope all is well. Pat
Pat,
That shot was taken with a Canon 1D, a long time ago. I would love the repeat opportunity! Come north with Hugh and I again.
Nice gallery! Are brown bears not wintering yet in Alaska?

Agreed…the lynx shot is magnificent.
Patrick in Oregon (since there seem to be a few of us Patricks here)

Hi Kevin,
I’ve never been to that region, all the photos here are from Alaska. Although I’d love to make a visit over there sometime.
