* I have rarely held a gun or rifle. But, traveling near the Arctic requires to have one, in case of polar bear dangerous encounter. Of course we all do what we can to avoid those, and using a rifle to kill would be an extreme last resort. Usually flares and noise are enough. * . #ice #iceberg #icecold #nature #cold #instagram #instagood #travel #polar #snow #adventure #photography #explore #trip #photooftheday #landscape #travelgram #beautiful #traveler #outdoors #mountains #naturephotography #photo #landscapephotography #sky #beautifuldestinations #life #adventuretime #traveltheworld #world
* A lot of emotion in this picture. It’s always impressive to be very close to nature.

* Did you know that? Many years ago, the English terms for Iceberg were “island of ice” in the 1610s and “sea-hill” in the 1690s. In 1774 scientists called them “glacier humped like a hill”, and “detached piece of a glacier” or “ice pack at sea” in 1820. Finally, they called them “iceberg” thanks to the partial translation of the Dutch word “ijsberg”, from ijs ‘ice’ + berg ‘hill’ * . #ice #iceberg #icecold #nature #cold #instagram #instagood #travel #polar #snow #adventure #photography #explore #trip #photooftheday #landscape #travelgram #beautiful #traveler #outdoors #mountains #naturephotography #photo #landscapephotography #sky #beautifuldestinations #life #adventuretime #traveltheworld #world
