Photographer Endures Five Months on Arctic Ice to Capture Polar Bears

Photographer Florian Ledoux endured endless winter months and Arctic sea ice shooting nature documentaries and as a result, he believes he has spent more time with polar bears than any crew before him.

Ledoux has spent the last two winters shooting for the BBC’s Frozen Planet documentary and Disney Plus’s Polar Bear film.

“For the Disney+ Polar Bear film and the behind-the-scenes film, I stay nearly five months out in the field,” Ledoux tells PetaPixel.

“The most difficult part was the end. Coming back to social life was a long journey as all we had in mind was polar bears.”
