An Aurora aircraft of Canada’s National Aerial Surveillance Program proved to be of interest to this polar bear as it flew over the vast reaches of Nunavut in recent hours. The bear was of interest to the crew and to us as well. Here we see the big fellow lumbering along even as he (or she) keeps an eye on the sky.
