Polar Bear Fieldwork

Written by:

Since I last wrote about this, I have completed another two seasons of polar bear fieldwork, and the project is now wrapped up. In 2022, my crew ended up getting COVID and being trapped in a small town for most of the fieldwork.

Spent a few days in this rustic shack on the north end of Banks Island – at least we didn’t get stuck there!

I’m not allowed to post work photos that I took of wildlife, but I can re-share them if the department uses them, so here are some polar bear photos that I took:
