BAFFIN ISLAND, ARCTIC - 2007: Sleeping polar bear pictured in the Arctic's Baffin Island in June 2007.
Photographed just ten feet from the world's largest land predator, these images of sleeping polar bears catch the powerful animals at their cutest. And true to the saying, when the bears awake they seem to have developed a very sore head. Taken by renowned adventurer Amos Nachoum at a death defying distance, these three bears were snapped on the icy tundra of Admiralty Inlet on the Arctic's Baffin Island. Tracked down with the aid of his trusted Inuit guide of 15 years, Amos used a combination of experience and sheer daring to get within spitting distance of the 10 foot tall, thousand pound polar bears. *** Local Caption *** ***, SPECIAL FEES***
