A glacier bear is a genetic variation of a black bear. Its fur is not jet black but frosted with color variations running from reddish to pure silver. This bear is only found in Northern Southeast Alaska, with concentrations in Glacier Bay and Yakutat. I shot this photo using a Nikon F5 with a Nikor 500mm f/4 lens on Fuji Velvia 35mm film. This photo can be found on p. 68 in my book on Glacier Bay National Park: Alaska.-Mark Kelley
