Polar bears waiting for winter

These polar bears seem to be just as happy as we are to visit Torngat Mountains National Park today. Located in Canada between Northern Quebec and the Labrador Sea, the park is accessible only by boat, charter plane, or helicopter. Set in the Torngat Mountains, the name comes from the Inuktitut word Tongait, meaning 'place of spirits'. The Inuit have lived here for centuries and still fish and hunt across the wide tundra valleys where these polar bears roam. This time of year, polar bears are waiting for the sea ice to form so they can venture out into the Labrador Sea to hunt for seals.

As sea ice coverage continues to shrink due to warming oceans, the polar bear population faces a rapidly shrinking habitat. Polar bears have large hunting ranges and rely on the ice to get around. Their role as alpha predators in the Arctic is a crucial part of the natural balance in their unique ecosystem. If our sea ice disappears, the bears may soon follow.
