Ice Bears
WILD & FREE
Polar bear cubs and mum cuddle-up with each other on an ice floe.
The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so!
I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut!
(Spitsbergen – Scandinavian Arctic)
