EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grace and power of a polar bear as it swims underwater at the St-Felicien Wildlife Zoo in St-Felicien, Quebec. The image, taken by Mathieu Belanger on October 31,2011, showcases the incredible beauty of this majestic creature in its natural habitat. With its close-up perspective, we are able to witness every detail of the polar bear's submerged exterior. The predator's fur glistens under the water as it glides effortlessly through its aquatic domain. Bubbles escape from its nostrils, creating an ethereal atmosphere that adds to the enchantment of this moment. The solitary nature of this wild animal is emphasized by the absence of any other creatures or people in the frame. It serves as a reminder that these magnificent beings thrive in their own world and deserve our utmost respect and protection. As one gazes upon this picture, it becomes evident why Canada takes pride in being home to such a significant population of polar bears. Environment Canada estimates that around 15,000 out of approximately 20,000 polar bears worldwide reside within Canadian territory. Mathieu Belanger's photograph not only highlights the breathtaking beauty found within nature but also raises awareness about these vulnerable species' plight due to climate change and melting ice caps. This image serves as a powerful testament to both their resilience and fragility against environmental challenges they face today.
