Martin Gregus's Image
After a torrential summer storm had flooded Martin’s boat-based camp, he looked up to see the sun out and a rainbow forming.
It was a scene of serenity that he carefully captured using his drone. The outlook is not so good for polar bears. The western Hudson Bay population is in decline as the sea ice retreats and prey becomes difficult to access.
