Northern meeting

Kolodyazhnaya Daria Alexandrovna. 12 лет. Northern meeting. High.

Before I took part in the Expedition through the Arctic, I had lived by a schedule. In the Arctic you lose sense of time. Having 24 hours of sunlight we could start our hiking at what we thought was 3 PM but it was actually 3 AM.
Our entire being was focused on one thing: survival.
That day or night (I can’t say for sure) I was on polar bear watch while the others were sleeping.
I didn’t have to fall asleep so I looked outside for some fresh air and came face to face with a ...

bright natural phenomenon – northern lights. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The sky glowed with different coloures. Snow sparkled like magnificent gems. I called the members of my expedition in a loud voice. At first they were afraid, that I had seen the polar bear, but then they understood, that it was the northern lights. We beholded this wonder together, and then suddenly a strange shadow flashed somewhere on the right. It frightened me and I took a gun, but when my friend lighted up the shadow, we saw a little polar bear cub. It was scared of the northern lights, got lost and couldn’t find its mother. We took care of the cub. We sheltered it in a separate room not to let it run away again at night. It the morning we led the bear to the its mother. We knew where they lived. Later we saw the bears many times. They walked along the seashore. The mother taught the baby to fish. We were glad that they were together.
