Polar Bear on Arctic Sea Ice in Svalbard ジグソーパズル

A polar bear seen wandering on the sea ice offshore of the archipelago of Svalbard. About 3,000 polar bears live in this area around the Norwegian Arctic territory at nearly 80 degrees north. They depend heavily on the sea ice, where they spend much of their time hunting for their primary diet of ringed seals. The significant declines in the extent and thickness of sea ice in recent years are concerning to the future survival of this species. Copyright 2018 Tom Schwabel, All Rights Reserved.
