When Jon Sigurdsson from Hafnarfjordur in republic of iceland was travelling in northern Labrador before this hebdomad, he captured a vision on his photographic camera he thought he would never see — a mother polar bear fighting a black bear.
"And they approached and there was a little fight between the mothers, but apparently there was enough of seal."
He said the two pairs of mothers and cubs shared the seal carcass but it was what happened next that was extraordinary.
"We could see a black bear a little bit further up the hill approaching the polar bears and we said to ourselves that this is not going to happen. There is not going to be any sort of confrontation, but the black bear continued and it made its way all the way to the polar bears. And the polar bears were not happy with this ... and there was an attack," said Sigurdsson.
But the mother polar bear eventually scared off the black bear, he said, adding he had never seen anything like it in his many years of travelling.
Sigurdsson had previously heard stories of other folks in the same area seeing polar bears and black bears at the same time, but nothing like his encounter. Along with his colleagues, he hasn't been able to find similar encounters when searching for photos.
"It feels really enjoyable being able to to share this and so people can see what happened. Many people don't believe this is actual, it's some kind of AI generated, but it it's not, so that ... feels really good."
Sigurdsson says he will remember the day for the rest of his life.
