We were able to spend three full days with this mother and her three cubs. Triplets are quite rare so being able to spend entire days with her was truly amazing. It was also definitely one of the more challenging trips I’ve done. Being out just for a few seconds and my eyelashes would just completely freeze over making it hard for me to look through the viewfinder. Then always worrying about managing your gear with the cold. But once you got to watch this beautiful moment all the pain from the cold disappeared.

To observe a Polar Bear mother with cubs in the wild is already an incredible experience that not many people are able to witness. I count myself very lucky to be one of the few that have been privileged to see this. What was even more incredible about this encounter was that the mother had three cubs. Polar Bears usually give birth to one or two cubs at most so a set of triplets is incredibly rare. We got to spend three days with this family before they made it to the ice where the mother will hunt seals to fatten up before the ice melts again in the summer.
