Cee, no, we didn’t. But I was most excited about seeing the Arctic fox, since I’d never seen one before. And the musk ox.

What a remarkable opportunity to see such beautiful creatures You look cozy AND stylish!

Wow! Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

Nemosmom, thank you. I didn’t really think I was stylish. But I wanted to show how I packed and layered for challenging weather.

Fifth, thank you. I took a lot of pictures, and was lucky that a few came out okay.

Wow, amazing wildlife and scenery! What a great trip. And I agree with Angie--you are adorable in your gear. I'm impressed with how well you packed, too!

Firecracker, thank you, but I really didn’t feel adorable. We have another trip coming up (can you tell my husband is about to retire?) where our luggage is going to be restricted. So this was kind of a dress rehearsal in that respect. In fact, flying to and from St Paul Island, we wore our boots. After I put Dr Scholl insoles in them, they were very comfortable. One day my phone said I walked over 13,000 steps.

I bet the b'ars are more disappointed they didn't meet you

Cee, we might see bears later this year. I’ll keep you posted...

Close up selfies be a must !!

Something like this will do.
