    The Majestic Beast Nanuk

    The large polar bear Nanuk in Inuktitut is an impressive animal. In this photo, we can see him crossing between two pieces of sea glacier, or we can imagine him trying to hold it as it melts.

    Isn't this so much better than looking at a miserable polar bear pacing around his cell with little ice cubes to suck on?

    I wonder if when you reach the top there is a highway to hell going back down...

    I will climb down. I will then die there. I will never be able to roll up those stairs...

    That stairway looks like it's a sheer drop-off...steep anything especially when it's at dizzying heights looking down would have me frozen on those steps. I'd have the luck of falling down those...and rolling to the bottom at a high rate of speed. I'd probably be comparable to a human bowling ball knocking everyone down in my path. Lol.

    I bet it's pretty private too as not many could do all those stairs!

    Going back up the steps would be easier for me than going down, though I'd have to stop occasionally to rest. Going up is easier, but I'd tumble down multiple times going down this long step way.

    The best part is , it has Soo many stairs nd isn't even that big, so it might just has a crowd free beach. It would be Soo cool

    I had a dream about this place once, yet I'd never seen it 'till now. Only difference was the water was purple and the staircase was a bit more to the side, the rest seems like an exact replica. Weird.

    Those stairs would totally be worth the view on the beach! I can only imagine the beautiful view!

    At first I thought it was just little piles of salt then I realized they were people in them. That must be an interesting job!
