A young polar bear chows down on a seal along the beach near Resolute Bay on Sunday. Tracey Phillion-Joron, a visiting dental assistant, photographed the bear from inside a truck. She said the bear was close to the vehicle but focused on its catch and showed no interest in the trucks nearby. The bear was chased away from the community but returned later that evening before being chased out again, she said. (Photo by Tracey Phillion-Joron, special to Nunatsiaq News)
