Today is the day you have been waiting for... On Day 4 we saw Polar Bears! This was the most we saw at once and almost a 1/3 of our total. There were 6 bears on this beach eating a whale that had washed up a while ago. One thing about Svalbard is that things don't really decay. You will notice some have rain while others don't. We actually went out on the zodiacs twice to see them the first time it was raining and the second time it had stopped. We were 10ft to 20ft away a lot of the time but they were on land while we were in the boats.
