The story behind this print, in the words of photographer Dmitry Kokh: "Polar bears and humans exist in two very different worlds. Human progress is relentless, and in the process we are melting ice caps and devastating the ocean. The two worlds - human and natural - continue to drift apart. This image vividly shows this incompatibility and divide. On the one hand, you have this huge iron vessel with a luxury bar and pool that caters for tourists that want to explore the animal world. On the other hand, you have the polar bear trying to survive."
This image, taken in the Arctic Ocean, was Highly Commended in the Ocean Conservation (Impact) Photographer of the Year category at OPY2023.
