Svalbard Wildlife - Part 3

Early one morning I was in the bridge when the ship came upon a small pod of Blue Whales, the largest living animals.



A male Eider Duck flying next to the ship.



We came across a group of walruses sleeping on a beach.




More scenery.



A polar bear out hunting.



This bear then proceeded to do some unexpected things.






Another group of walruses.



Probably the same bear as before.
