MicheleV_AK<p>This little polar bear is about a year old and has no momma. The chances of him surviving are not good, but he looks good right now. Of course, Melvin Kayotuk has been following him and photographing him for a while now. I shared a few pics of the little guy with a fox last night so I wanted to share these as well. Let's all send positive vibes for this young guy who is just too adorable for words! <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LonePolarBear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LonePolarBear</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NoMomma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NoMomma</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a></p>

MicheleV_AK<p>Melvin Kayotuk just loves photographing these gorgeous, albeit dangerous polar bears. I no longer ask him how close he is because I don't want to know! What I do know is that he is on his 4-wheeler which somehow makes me feel better. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AlaskaInWinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlaskaInWinter</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PolarBears" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PolarBears</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a></p>
MicheleV_AK<p>I will be glad when the "season" is over as I am tired! Too much time has been spent preparing for craft bazaars. Anyway, just popped on and saw these amazing photos by Melvin Kayotuk so I had to share! <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AlaskaInWinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlaskaInWinter</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PolarBears" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PolarBears</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a></p>
MicheleV_AK<p>I'm still in mourning over this fucked up, insane election that is going to wreak havoc on so many people and countries. I am deeply sorry that the US didn't do better by electing an extremely qualified woman, but here we are and I loathe it. So much bad stuff already happening including violence, mistreatment of girls/women, suicides of trans folk and the list goes on. So, in a feeble effort to bring some type of joy to this otherwise depressing post, I give you some polar bears as photographed by Melvin Kayotuk. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AlaskPolarBears" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlaskPolarBears</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a></p>
MicheleV_AK<p>Been keeping a low profile for election-related anxiety purposes, but wanted to share this beautiful photo from Melvin Kayotuk in Kaktovik, Alaska. This is how I experienced the Northern Lights when I lived in Nome! So close, I felt I could reach up and touch them. Never saw polar bears, but hey, can't everything! <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NorthernLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NorthernLights</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PolarBears" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PolarBears</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a></p>

MicheleV_AK<p>It's been a wild few days, but here are some polar bears that Melvin Kayotuk saw and photographed today in Kaktovik, AK.

MicheleV_AK<p>And just how close does Melvin Kayotuk get to these polar bears?? This close! His wife took a pic of him taking pics. I've also seen videos where Melvin is even closer! No fear. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PolarBears" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PolarBears</span></a></p>
MicheleV_AK<p>My favorite northern photographer, Melvin Kayotuk, gets entirely too close to these polar bears for MY comfort, but he has no fear, obviously. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KaktovikAlaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KaktovikAlaska</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PolarBears" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PolarBears</span></a></p>
