The stunning images were taken with more than eight different kinds of cameras including, for the first time, a polar bear collar-cam; a remote control Truck-cam; a mini Heli-cam, and several underwater cameras.

Yet it is also a story of resilience, of neighbors helping neighbors, of grief and recovery.
