He swam with crocodiles and killer whales, with anacondas and with great white sharks. But one major predator has always eluded Amos Nachum, one of the greatest underwater photographers of all times.
Amos Nachoum always dreamed of swimming underwater with a polar bear and capturing it face to face on film. He tried before and barely escaped with his life; but now, as he nears the end of his career, he is determined to give it one last shot.
