EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOS OF POLAR BEARS AND THEIR WORLD

All white: A close-up photograph of a tired young cub who collapsed in the snow near the water
These stunning photographs have captured the lives of Alaska’s polar bears.
 
Photographer David Swindler visited Katovik at a time where more polar bears start to appear on the barrier islands before reaching peak numbers.
 
The beautiful animals can be seen going about their lives but becoming curious about Mr Swindler and his camera equipment.  The 35-year-old photographer from Utah said: ‘Bears have long been a favourite subject of mine since I love their playfulness and antics.  It was quite exhilarating to get close to some of these bears. When they stand up to their full 8ft stature, it's pretty intimidating.’ (see more pictures below)

I'm coming to get you: This adult polar bear had no luck with catching a seagull as he made a splash in the water
