A visitor dropped by Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge to borrow a cup of sugar. Rock-paper-scissors settled the question of who got to hand it over. Just kidding!

Polar bears don't really like sugar 😊 And we don't feed them here. But they do love berries!

There’s something about being in the presence of polar bears that makes the rest of the world fade away. Watching them move through the wild brings a sense of calm that stays with you. ❤️ Video by Samantha Tompkins. Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge.
