For two weeks, Seattle based photographer Paul Souders trawled the coast of Churchill, Canada to look for polar bears.
His effort paid off as he managed to capture these close-up shots of polar bears swimming in the seas and standing on icebergs.
Souders knew that he had “no margin for error”, choosing to watch these bears, only choosing to take the photographs after he saw that there were no signs of aggression.
