Ultimate Polar Bears of the High Arctic Expedition Report
June 10th - June 27th 2025
There are trips that linger in the soul long after you return to solid ground. And then there are expeditions that define your entire career and stay with you for the rest of your life. The 2025 Ultimate Polar Bear Expedition to Svalbard falls firmly into the latter category. Eighteen extraordinary days in the High Arctic, ten of which were spent deep in the sea ice north of 81 degrees latitude, delivered what can only be described as the most productive and fulfilling polar bear photography experience of my life. Perhaps best of all, it was shared with a wonderful group of like-minded photographers that made the camaraderie as fulfilling as the photography.
