Description
"Leap"
A polar bear leaps through ice floes in the high Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Leaping between chunks of drift ice takes less energy than swimming. About 3,000 polar bears live here, and depend on the ice for hunting their primary diet of seals. The rapid disappearance of ice in the Arctic is alarming for the future survival of this species.
