« We spent most of the morning and a day with this female and her toddlers, who probably just got out of the den.
We followed them to try to see them again, and when I got an iceberg, I did not believe my eyes: my mother sat with the kids, huddling to each other, on top of the ice. Watching such intimate moments between the bears while their mom is asleep is the impression of a lifetime, « – told the authors a photo taken on Buffin Island.

I waited for a long time near the watering hop, hoping that these rhinos would come to drink. Took a position on the route to shoot against the sun. The effect of reverse lighting and dust that created a blurry shadow added ephemeral effect « , He explained.
