cliff climbing polar bear - a photo on Flickriver

            DSC08187 this picture is just to put the others in this series into perspective/provide scale - the polar bear is climbing 50-60m high cliff face to in an attempt to find/eat bird eggs in a thick billed murre roost. This is an unusual behaviour possibly due to longer periods of retreating ice reducing access to normal food sources - or the bear could just be bored and inquisitive - but does not seem to have a problem with heights. Located in Ostrova Oranski (the Ostranski Islands) off the northern coast of Novaya Zemlya in the Russian Arctic.
