Polar Bear Hunting on Ice Flows, Svalbard

    Newer Older

    Arctic Expedition 2009

    A polar bear sleeps on an ice flow in Svalbard, Norway.

    Because of global warming these ice flows are shrinking and melting faster each year making it harder for the polar bears to hunt and eat.

    If global warming continues these beautiful animals will become extinct.
