A Photographer Spent 117 Hours In The Severe Cold To Get These Incredible Shots

Every year, from mid-February to mid-March, a grand event happens in the Wapusk National Park in Canada: polar bears come out from their caves with their four-month-old babies for the first time.

"But I knew as soon as I took this photo that I had something special. The mother was so relaxed and I feel there's so much tenderness there ... everybody can relate to that." Gilardini said photographing Canada's polar bears is a big honour.
