1st place winner of the Fragile Ice catagory, Siena International Photo Awards, 2017.

This big male polar bear looks so relaxed and at ease while taking a nap on a piece of ice in Svalbard. The truth is, this polar bear and all Arctic wildlife are in great danger, and experts believe that polar bears could completely disappear from the Arctic in the next 100 years. This contrast of peaceful daydreaming on top of an "island" of melting habitat, makes this image powerful and honored with several international awards.
