(Just saw the pics) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---back-on-dry-land-and-overwhelmed#post-723750 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:09:03 +0000 Janet 723750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, we actually saw not just that one, but a total of four! A mama and her cub in Svalbard, the one pictured here off the Greenland coast, and another one on Svalbard that I only saw from a great distance because the zodiak ride that day had done me in and I couldn't bear another one (the sea was very rough and the ride long and bumpy, and it seriously tested my seasickness patch!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---back-on-dry-land-and-overwhelmed#post-723701 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:38:13 +0000 catgirl 723701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You saw a POLAR BEAR? That is the coolest thing ever! I saw one once out in the water from a distance when I was out in a village for a trial. It was so awesome. They are truly fascinating. I can't wait to see pics and I want to hear some gear reviews! Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---back-on-dry-land-and-overwhelmed#post-723590 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:57:37 +0000 Gaylene 723590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if there is anywhere that gear is more important than fashion, it is in the North! That trip sounds amazing-- Northern lights, polar bears, musk ox, whales, fjords, and icebergs-- I'm in such a state of envy right now, I can hardly type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---back-on-dry-land-and-overwhelmed#post-723371 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:53:23 +0000 Angie 723371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad that you are well, and hope that all is well back home too :)</p> <p>Your trip sounds incredible and I can't wait to see photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---back-on-dry-land-and-overwhelmed#post-723351 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:19:38 +0000 KathyL 723351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back to dry land!!

So unlike anything at home ;-)</p> <p>Looking forward to pictures and glad you're safely back to land. Are these free days for you before flying home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot---back-on-dry-land-and-overwhelmed#post-723193 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:18:23 +0000 Janet 723193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>I just wanted to pop in and say hello since I've been absent and completely off-line for two weeks while at sea in the Arctic! </p> <p>No WIWs since it was almost all gear (including mud boots and the ever-so-fashionable huge bright yellow parka provided by the expedition company!), but an amazing time seeing incredible sights and photographing with some of the best photographers alive today. I feel so lucky to have done this! </p> <p>A few highlights:</p> <p>- several nights viewing the northern lights<br /> - multiple polar bear sightings, including one nearly 200 miles off the coast of Greenland on a hunk of polar sea ice, where the ship captain navigated the ship right up to the bear's ice<br /> - sightings of walrus, whales, musk ox, arctic hare, and seals<br /> - the fjords of Greenland, filled with icebergs of all shapes and sizes</p> <p>I'll share some photos later. I'm in Reykjavik now, so it's good to be back on dry land with a couple of days to relax before I fly home. I hope you all have been well!</p> <p>PS I just added a couple of my best polar bear pix. As you can tell in the second one, she had just finished dinner. </p>
