book and photo
Look for the book Blue Bear....it's about a photographers quest to photograph one. That same photographer got ate in Katchmach sp? Russia. He has a totem pole to his tribute here in Sitka.
A guide friend I know took a photo from his guide area of one and showed it to me once. Interesting topic and an amazing trophy animal if your fortunate to cross paths with one in the right season.

I remember the bear and what happened. It and several other critters that were in the original concourse, got a one way ticket out of state on a JAL Flight. There was a piece in the news about how they were going to spur the Japanese into coming to Alaska. Musta worked to some degree.  For pictures of Glacier Bears, all you have to do is Go to google.com, click on "images", type in what you are looking for, hit enter button and walla, all you ever want to see.

Was that in Alaska? I understood that spirit bears were supposed to be in a few drainages in BC, Canada only. Nice pic. There used to be a glacier bear mount in the Juneau airport near baggage claim. It was about 50% larger than my largest beagle. I believe that John Latham out of Yakutat may specialize in hunting glacier bears.

A BC photo
Chisana ....
That pic was taken along the Yellowhead hiway around Cedarvale ... the Spirit Bear are all through the area from south of Kitimat up to Terrace and up to Kitwanga and over to the Portland Canal ... there are possibly some in Alaska in that area.

Full Mounts of Glacier Bears that I know of: one in the Airport in Juneau (lower floor), one in Airport in Yakutat, one and by far the best mount I have seen is in the Museum in Fairbanks. There use to be a hugh Glacier Bear in at the Anchorage Zoo, but he was pretty old and it passed away, man was it big.

I've seen the glacial bear at UAF Museum, and it looks nothing like the so called spirit bear in the above picture posted by Muskeg, that bear is more of a blond color phase black bear. the glacial bears I've seen were more of a white color, almost like a blue color, saw one in a lodge not too far from Toad river, B.C. and one was on loan at the bear museum in Montana, from a private collector and was killed in the early 60's. Neither any of the glacial bears I have seen were very big, the one in BC was only 6'. But their hides are very unique. There was an article in a magazine of a guy that has taken two in 25 years, in S.E. Alaska, I believe it was in "North American Hunter" magazine, not sure...
