Journeys With the Ice Bear is a breathtaking firsthand adventure inot the unforgiving world of one of nature's most extraordinary animals---the polar bear. Combining spectacular photography and insightful writing, renowned wildlife photographer and author Kennan Ward captures the essence of the harsh yet remarkable lives of these great wandering ice bears. Chronicling his many excursions near and into the Arctic Circle, Ward describes in vivid detail the severity of such places as Siberia and the wonders he encounters in these remote and rugged environments. Although it is Ward's intimate journeys with the polar bear that are thoughtfully retold, it is his deep respect and admiration for this denizen of the ice that comes shinning through.

An exciting essay on bears in nature. Extreme Photography,
By A Customer
This review is from: Journeys with the Ice Bear (Hardcover)
Kennan Ward:''Grizzlies in the Wild": This is the stuff that gets a "couch potato" out to the campsites! Nature at it's extreme, Indian legend, bears so huge and unique that that they are known far and wide by their names alone. Carniverous and dangerous, the author respects them all. The tenacity of Ward's pursuits and his dedication as a photographer, brings us one of the most inspiring and picturesque books that i've read in a very long time.
