Arctic Wanderer
This stunning drone shot by Florian Ledoux captures a lone polar bear navigating the fragile Arctic ice, a scene equal parts breathtaking and sobering. The image’s sheer power earned Florian the Photo of the Year at the Drone Photography Awards and the title of Drone Photographer of the Year at the 2018 Siena International Photography Awards.
The icy blues and stark whites of the Arctic create a perfect backdrop for the bear’s journey, highlighting both the beauty of nature and its vulnerability. As the ice continues to melt, the shot serves as a powerful reminder of the delicate balance this majestic species depends on.
