    These amazing pictures show a wildlife photographer having a very close encounter with a curious polar bear.

    Kyriakos Kaziras was lucky to escape with only a few jaw-dropping images when a male adult swiped at him through a ship's porthole.

    He took the picture series from a boat on the sea ice north of Spitsbergen.

    Kyriakos explains: "He not only came up to our boat, but remained more than two hours to walk around it. He tried with a lot of perseverance to get on the boat. He poked his nose through all reachable holes and portholes.

    "It was at that moment, he tried to reach me and grab my camera. My camera sunshield did not resist."
