The Ice Bear Cometh.

It is a two-hour helicopter ride from the nearest town to this spot on the Fishing Branch river in Canada's Yukon territory, a location where the river never freezes, however cold it gets. The salmon run occurs in the late autumn here, and for the grizzly bears of the area, the open water offers a final chance to feast before hibernating. It was averaging about –22 degrees Fahrenheit (–30 degrees Celsius), and Andy Skillen had been waiting and hoping that one particular female bear would use this log to cross the stream. Eventually she did just that, and he got the picture he’d envisioned—her fur, wet from fishing, had frozen into icicles and "you could hear them tinkle as she walked past." #

The planning, the mediums, the sequence of events in each frame, right down to the immaculate detail. I applaud the artists involved, and the ones that contributed. This is fracking beautiful.
