Cool Bear picture. Some really lucky, skilled, and great pictures.To be crowned a "wildlife photographer of the year" is no small feat. The annual competition, sponsored by BBC Worldwide and The Natural History Museum, has received more than 48,000 entries since its inception in 1965 (around 1,000 entries every year). After an evaluation conducted by a panel of judges, only 10 percent of the submissions are approved for a spot in the top 100 images, segmented into 15 different categories, and of those, only one in each category ultimately wins. See 10 of the winners in their respective categories, below, in addition to the photographers' statements posted by the Natural History Museum. For the rest of the winning photos, including the runners-up for each category, click through to the competition's website. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/21/wildlife-photographer-of-the-year-2013_n_4136763.html

Haven't read the article yet, but going to say I hope that photographer was in a seal suit and has additional pictures.

Awesome picture but I don't know if I'd want to be that close when a hungry bear comes out of the ice. 
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
