All

Brooks Falls is a low waterfall on the Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. In summer, sockeye salmon returning from the sea leap up the falls, and brown bears gather on the lip and in the pools below to catch them, a scene that has made this one of the world's most famous nature cameras.

Streamed by explore.org, the view lets you watch fishing techniques, the bears' pecking order and mothers with cubs. July, at the peak of the salmon run, and September, when the bears are fattening up for winter, are the liveliest periods. The camera may operate seasonally, so winter views can be quiet or offline.
