Out for a swim

Malaya Qaunirq Chapman of Kuujjuaq spotted this polar bear during a July 1 boating trip near an island in Ungava Bay called Aluqpaluk. “We first saw the polar bear on the island, then it went for a swim to give us space,” she writes. “We kept our distance so no disturbance was made.” (Photo by Malaya Qaunirq Chapman)
