On Thin Ice

www.andrewcastellano.com

Each year, when the Hudson Bay freezes over, the polar bears spend as much time as they can out on the ice, hunting seals and storing up fat reserves for the summer. When the ice melts, the bears wait out the summer on land, where there is very little food for them to eat. As the planet warms, the polar bears have less time on the ice to fatten themselves up, and more time on land. This puts a strain on the population, and if the trend is not stopped, then we will see dramatic declines in the number of polar bears. Some scientists estimate that approximately 30% of the population will remain 50 years from now. The good news is that we still have time to do something to save these magnificent creatures...if we begin to act now....

Northern Skyscape

Part of what made traveling up north to see the polar bears so amazing was the alien landscape of the tundra and ever-changing Hudson Bay, and also the colors in the sky, which were unlike anything I have ever seen at lower latitudes.
