Dennis Fast > SILA RIVER FALLS, NUNAVUT.

The Sila River flows into Wager Bay, an offshoot of Hudson Bay, in Canada's North. A series of four gorgeous waterfalls increasing in height and volume as you move upstream were well worth the many hour hike to photograph them.
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR MOTHER & CUBS.

This mother and her cubs were resting in a secluded nook of small trees. Newly out from her birthing den, she now was faced with a long march to the sea ice to find food for herself and her young cubs. Sometimes going without food for as long as 8 months, mother bears have been known to lose 70% of their body weight in one natal season!
Dennis Fast > MALE POLAR BEAR RELAXING IN FIREWEED.

The simple elegance of a white bear in a field of purple fireweed is breath-taking. In the times I have camped with bears, I never tire of seeing the "king of beasts".
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR MOTHER & CUB OF THE YEAR.

After a long winter in a den where this young cub was born about 10 weeks prior to emerging, it feels good to see the sun. The look of adulation and complete confidence in the eye of the young bear makes this photo very powerful.
Dennis Fast > MALE POLAR BEARS RESTING AFTER A WRESTLING MATCH.

In October, polar bears wrestle for mating status that will occur much later in the dark cold of an Arctic night. After a "friendly" pushing, slapping and biting match that may last for more than an hour, the two combatants lie down for a well-deserved nap.
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR ASLEEP IN LUXURIOUS SNOW BED.

It was extremely cold on the morning when I got this photo after a blizzard. The micro-drive in my new digital camera was struggling to keep spinning in the -25C air; but I got the shot!
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR SMILE IN FIREWEED.

Of all the bears, polar bear are at once the most inviting and the most dangerous of them all. They are indeed playful, relaxed and charming - but don't turn your back!
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR RELAXING IN FIREWEED.

What could be more relaxed than a polar bear in a bed of "roses". The most amazing thing about it all was that he completely disappeared when he lay down amidst flowers that barely reached my thigh.
Dennis Fast > POLAR BEAR IN MORNING SUN AND FOG.

This curious polar bear showed up one morning near Dymond Lake Lodge where I was staying at not far from Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. The combination of early sun and frost in the air took my breath away.
