Thanks, Stacey! Next time I’d like to see an actual polar bear, too, ha.

I’ve been to Svalbard a couple times – it’s so cold but such a good place for photos! I never captured the polar bear sign but I’d heard about it from my friends. I love your pics!

What a fascinating job you have. What I would give to be paid to travel the world… Very interesting that the townspeople carry weapons with them; I would almost hope to run into a polar bear just to say that I did! Well, maybe not “run into” one, but see one from the distance.

Oh those little Artic foxes are adorable! I hope they steer clear of the polar bears!
On a related note I can’t imagine living anywhere that I need to carry a weapon to defend myself from a polar bear attack, madness!

Hello from Woody’s site and a fellow TN (we are from the same home town!).

What incredible images – I can’t wait to see your whole blog!

I’d love to visit this place! The trains almost look like little toys against the vast expanse of mountains & sky.
