Writer, photographer and audio producer Seth Lender traveled to Hudson Bay near the Arctic Circle to hunt with the native Inuit and view wildlife.

Like the rest of us, he always pictured Polar Bears on the ice and was curious to see them on solid ground.

You can see for yourself photos of Polar Bears on rocks and in a colorful field of fireweed, read a transcript of Lender’s conversation with Living on Earth, or listen to the audio, which includes something we don’t often hear – a Polar Bear vocalizing.
