Cox, Tom Mangelsen is one of a handful of photographers that helped bring images of Churchill’s polar bears into popular culture. Although he hasn’t traveled with us to Cape Churchill in over a decade, Tom’s images are still making an impact, as shared by the London Telegraph.

This image of Tom’s was singled out by International League of Conservation Photographers as one of the Top 40 Nature Photographs of all time to help celebrate Christie’s inaugural Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth on the 40th annual Earth Day this April 22nd. Congratulations Tom!

While at the Cape, the brothers filmed a few informative videos where they interviewed such heavyweights in the polar bear research community as Dr. Ian Stirling and Steven Amstrup.

Here is Alex Wolff and his interview with the “Godfather of Polar Bears”, Dr. Stirling from a Tundra Buggy at Cape Churchill where they discuss polar bear tagging, the issues of climate change in the North, and his experience in a polar bear den.
