Some cool news from our neighbors to the north in Canada – Photographer Sandra Nelson has won the Royal Ontario Museum’s Wildlife photo contest with an image she took with us on a tour in Katmai, Alaska! Her photograph, titled The One That Got Away is a beautifully sharp image freezing the moment as two grizzly bears engage in a spat over a tasty salmon. On top of winning the contest, her image is currently on display at ROM.

If you’d like to hear Sandra’s story, check out CBC’s Afternoon Drive conversation between Sandra and host Matt Allen and Michelle Both’s article discussing her award-winning image.

A HUGE congratulations to Sandra from Art Wolfe and our staff here. These kinds of stories make all the work that goes into arranging trips that much more worth-while. Sandra has other great shots from this trip, so we will include a couple more. We are returning to Katmai this August, yet only one space remains – come make your own memories in this incredible location!

Great work Sandra!

Grizzly Bear, Katmai, Alaska.
