Steve MacInnis and Steve Ashton were on a Caribou hunt about 125 miles inland from Ungava Bay in Nunavik, Quebec when they encountered a Polar Bear on a freshwater lake. Polar Bears are not usually seen so far from the sea, so it was a totally unexpected encounter. They followed him at a safe distance until he swam across the lake, climbed out and disappeared over the horizon.
@costiniucmircea Hi thanks for your comment. The footage was shot from the bow of a canoe and we got as close as about 10 feet when the bear was sitting in the water and then followed him as he swam across the lake and climbed out. Rare and exciting encounter about 125 miles inland from the nearest saltwater at Ungava Bay!

Very nice and interesting. At what distances was the bear?
