Umm, there is no land mass anywhere near the North Pole (the closest being about 400 miles away)...hence no polar bears either.

That sure looks like a mountain in the background...and a polar bear in the foreground.


Looks like it came from Epcot...of all places.

Hey Doc thank you for the beautiful picture. It sure is a shame when the heading you put on a picture is drawn into question. We think it's beautiful!

With Massachusetts having one of the snowiest winters the year after we moved here I thought it was a picture of the Charles river!

You caught me. That's exactly what it is. The title of the post was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek. I just thought it was a great picture.

I didn't realize that taking photos on Soarin' was illegal?

I also didn't think that anyone would actually think that I was flying over the North Pole.
