Few places on Earth offer the chance to camp on drifting sea ice while waiting for polar bears that have only just emerged from their maternity dens.
Baffin Island is one of them.

Some wildlife encounters happen because you wait. Others happen because the animals decide to come to you. Sitting quietly on the ice at Snow Hill Island, I became part of the landscape as a group of emperor penguin chicks slowly came closer.

Some photographs happen in an instant. Yet this leopard photograph was only possible through six nights spent in underground hides overlooking small waterholes in Kenya.

Some stories begin with loss. This one is about what can happen afterwards. Meeting rescued chimpanzees in Uganda wasn't about their past. It was about everything they had managed to overcome.
