The 4 million acre national park of Southern Alaska is famous for its brown bears. The reserve is home to some 2,200 bears, making it the largest population of protected brown bears in the world.
Souders visited the geographically and ecologically diverse area to photograph the bears in their natural habitat—from catching wild salmon in famous Brooks Falls, grazing the plains, and apparently, posing for selfies with new friends.
