The shot of a lifetime. In the remote Arctic pack ice, a Polar Bear attempted to hunt a pod of Beluga whales swimming along the ice edge. In the close up image of the Beluga surfacing, you can see what looks like the scratch marks from a previous event with a Polar Bear. Seeing this scene unfold for the first time after ten years of Arctic expeditions is something I will never forget. The absolute highlight of my career so far as a nature photographer and natural history DOP. As a crew member on board, I was exceedingly careful when capturing this moment from an aerial perspective. This is the first time I have flown a drone to document wildlife in the Arctic, and I was extremely conscious of maintaining a large distance to avoid any disturbance to the Bear and Beluga’s behaviours. Thanks to the newest innovation in drones, I was able to use the 168mm telephoto lens on the Mavic 4 Pro to capture these scenes from afar. At all times I closely monitored the behaviour of the bear to ensure I did not impact its behaviour. I only used a single battery to capture this sequence to minimise my time in the air. These scenes were captured with @naturalworldsafaris in the international marginal ice zone, sitting just south of the North Pole more than 12 nautical miles from the northern tip of Svalbard.
