What was better, adrenalin wise ;-) , the polar bears or the grizzlies? Maybe a couple of points more for the isbjörne? ;-)

Luckily the salmons will arrive en masse, if not this one will not survive the winter -O -O

Thanks for your comments Mel, Nan, Richprins, Bushcraft, Flutterby, Pooky, Sprocky & Lisbeth. \O

Mel - Very mind blowing. O/\

Nan - A lot of effort for not much reward. -O

RP - Do you catch many fish. :-? -O

BC - \O

Flutt's - Certainly was an experience of a lifetime. \O

Pooky - He must have been on one of those diets. -O

Sprocky - The experiences got better a bit later. \O

Lis - Adrenaline wise, these bears were better due to being on the ground with them. The Isbjörne trip was better for being the culmination of a lifetimes ambition to see them in the wild. \O Hard to choose between the two as they were both completely different experiences. \O

Other than bearwatching, we also did some cruising in the skiff to some of the islets and quieter bays. This gave me the chance for scenic photos.
