The Final Portrait
A polar bear cub looks into the camera as it accompanies its mother on an unsuccessful hunting trip. There’s a sad story behind this picture, taken on the coast of Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Soon after it was taken, the polar bear and its family went too close to an area of huts, and people forced them away.
