"A massive male polar bear standing on the edge of a turquoise glacial ice shelf in Arctic Svalbard, breath visible in the freezing air, wet fur clumped into heavy spikes after emerging from the water, enormous paws gripping translucent blue-green ice showing trapped air bubbles and internal fracture lines, the midnight sun sitting on the horizon casting the entire scene in liquid gold and deep arctic blue, calm ocean reflecting pink and copper clouds, a distant glacier calving wall visible across the water with chunks of ice floating in the foreground, water droplets still falling from the bear's underbelly catching the golden light like amber beads, photorealistic wildlife photography, Nikon Z9 400mm f/2.8, National Geographic cover shot"
