Martin Gregus's Image
On a hot summer’s day, two female polar bears took to the shallow intertidal waters to cool off and play.
Martin used a drone to capture this moment. For him, the heart shape symbolises the apparent sibling affection between them and ‘the love we as people owe to the natural world’.
