A man in a boat returning to his remote village in northern Quebec considered it a blessing to have witnessed a polar bear swimming offshore as night was falling Saturday.
The man from the Inuit village of Akulivik captured video of the encounter, and those who viewed the footage were awestruck by the sighting.
