SAEDNEWS: A large, powerful bear stood beneath a sky alive with the northern lights, performing an endless ballet of color and light. Shades of green, blue, and violet shimmered across its thick, rugged fur, casting it as a legendary creature amidst the wild heart of nature.
According to Saed News Science Service, photographer and journalist Peter Mather says: “I spent about five years trying to capture this shot in this exact spot. I came close dozens of times, but it never worked. Once, I photographed a white wolf fishing under the northern lights, which was very well received.”
But why does this bear hunt at night? There are two reasons. First, in the far north during winter, there are only about five hours of daylight, so most of the day is dark. Second, salmon can see bears during the day and avoid them. At night, they can’t see the bears, but bears can use their sense of smell to track them.
