He continues, "When I consider my own interactions with Arctic animals, an exciting polar bear sighting during the summers comes to mind. On the sea ice, not far from the ship's bow, a mother and her cub were seen. We stared in astonishment as they cautiously explored the ice flow, hopping from piece to chunk to come closer to us. While sitting on the icy water, they got near enough for me to glimpse their exhaled breath. They waited for a time, then swam off after deftly slipping into the water. From the grandeur of polar bears to the elusiveness of narwhals, Canada is famous for its wildlife, and the experience of watching animals in a responsible manner while on an expedition across Canada is absolutely remarkable.
