What do we know about organisms which thrive in the Arctic sea ice? Is there life in a desert of ice? Christopher Krembs Jody Deming University of Washington The flourishing life within the briny habitat of sea ice. The ice specific ecosystem includes bacteria, viruses, unicellular algae, diatom chains, worms and crustaceans. Click on the image to see a magnified view of the brine channels containing these organisms. The flourishing life within the briny habitat of sea ice is intricately linked to physical processes. Temperature controls every physical and chemical aspect of ice, including the availability of light. The most notable effect of decreasing temperature, as winter progresses and the ice solidifies, is the reduction of pore space within the ice, and the concurrent increase in the salinity of the brine. Sea ice serves as habitat for an ice-specific food web ( sympagic foodweb ] that includes bacteria, viruses

Contact Us POLAR BEARS OF HUDSON BAY Introduction Discrete populations of polar bears are found throughout ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic. In Canada, there are 13 populations, totaling approximately 15, 000 bears. Polar bears are largely marine animals, preferring to remain on the sea ice where they hunt their main prey of seals. They feed primarily on ringed seals although bears will also eat bearded seals and occasionally walruses, beluga whales and narwhals. In many areas of the arctic, they are able to hunt on the ice year-round. It is only in areas where the ice melts in the summer, like southwestern Hudson Bay, that the bears are forced ashore until the ice refreezes in the fall.

The Story of the American Expeditionary Forces Polar Bear Patch AMERICAN POLAR BEARS AEF NORTHERN RUSSIA The 339th Infantry Leaves for Russia Prior to the collapse of Russia in 1917, vast quantities of military supplies had been assembled in the northern part of that country at the ports of Archangel and Murmansk, the latter being an open port north of the Arctic Circle. The Supreme War Council believed that Allied troops should be sent to secure these ports for the use of the Allies and to save the supplies located there. The original objectives also included the establishment a rallying point for Czech troops who were roaming loose in Russia and to prevent the establishment of German submarine bases. Building Barracks at Camp Michigan Many of the Polar Bears were from the northern midwest Consequently an Allied force under British command was dispatched by sea and on August 3, 1918, seized the city of Archangel and drove the Bolshevik troops to the south of that place. The first American troops ashore are fifty sailors from the USS Olympia. The British government had previously urged the United States to contribute a contingent and as a result the War Department directed the Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces to send three battalions of infantry and three companies of engineers to join this Allied venture. The 339th Infantry, 1st Battalion of the 310th Engineers, 337th Field Hospital and 337th Ambulance Company, all of the 85th Division, were designated. They sailed from England, and arrived in Northern Russia on September 4.

A curious bear. Ursus maritimus Ice Bear Nanook Polar Bear Sea Bear White Bear Walking Bear The polar bear is a mighty hunter of seals. The most carnivorous of the bears, it is also the most patient. They will sit near a seal blow-hole for hours, waiting, until the animal surfaces. When it does, it is all over for the seal. One powerful blow from a forepaw brings a swift meal for the bear and a swifter death for the seal. The conditions of the polar north are harsh, with temperatures well below freezing almost constantly. In order to survive, the polar bear has to be an expert survivalist, able to cope with the grueling conditions of his environment. Like a giant solar panel, the skin of the bear is black to draw every bit of possible heat from the sunlight. The hairs if the pelt appear to be white, but are actually transluscent and transmit the light down to the skin. Below these hairs are "underhairs" of orange or yellow. Like those of other bears, the ears of the polar bear are round. They are, however, smaller and closer to the head. This, along with the overall shape of the animal help to make it a formidable swimmer. The paws are large, and slightly webbed, which also contribute to the bear's abilities as a swimmer. There is a great degree of sexual dimorphism among the bears as well. The males are huge, the heaviest of them weighing as much as 1300 pounds. The females are smaller, the largest of them being only about 600 pounds.

You are here: BBC Animals Children's Zone Polar bear Polar bears are the largest land carnivores (meat-eaters) in the world and the largest members of the bear family. Polar bears live only in the northern Arctic where they spend most of their time on ice floes. They are found in the US (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland and Norway. These areas are viciously cold, with temperatures as low as minus 55 degrees Celsuis and wind speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. By having a thick layer of fat (blubber) under their skin, the bears can stay warm in the cold environment. Polar bears are warm-blooded mammals, which means that they can regulate their body at the same temperature. Their skin is black, which helps to soak up as much heat from the sun as possible. What's more, their round and compact body shape helps to keep them warm. Polar bears don't have large ears or a long tail, because they lose warmth quickly. Instead they try to weigh as much as possible because large objects lose heat slowly, so the heaviest polar bear stays warmer longer. Polar bears hunt seals, fish, seabirds and reindeer. They will also eat vegetation and berries in the summer. Polar bears do not need to drink water, as they get all the liquid they need from the food they eat.

The color helps him to blend in with the snow, making him hard to see. The polar bear's skin is dark and draws in the heat from the sun. The polar bear usually walks hundreds of miles every day... this is one reason why you see them pace while in the zoo. For this reason, some say it is not good to keep the polar bears in captivity. One of the favorite meals of the polar bear is seals (pictured below). They will sit near an air hole, and wait until the seal comes up for air. They have also been seen eating Beluga white whales (pictured below).

The only marine bear, it is longer than other bears and streamlined for aquatic life. It has the plantigrade feet (heel and sole touching the ground) typical of bears, with five sharp, curved claws on each foot for grasping the ice and holding its prey. Long hair between the pads protects the bear's feet from the cold and provides traction on the ice. Stiff hairs on the forelegs, and very broad front feet, help the bear swim. All polar bears are white, although their fur may yellow in the summer. The largest wild bears ever weighed—more than 800 kg (1760 lb)—have been polar bears. However, most male polar bears weigh an average of about 350 kg (about 880 lb), and most females weigh about 250 kg (550 lb). Polar bears have a strong navigational sense, an extremely good sense of smell, and they are unusually clever at solving problems in order to obtain food. They eat primarily ringed seals, and occasionally bearded seals, walruses, or white whales. They also feed on berries, sedges, mussels, and kelp.

Polar Bears Picture by Steve Johnson Polar bears are the biggest and strongest animals in the Arctic. Polar bears are not frightened of other animals. None of the other animals even challenge the polar bears. Polar bears belong to the bear family. They are almost related to brown bears. Polar bears enjoy the land as much as the water. The polar bears spend most of their time on land and use the sea as a feeding ground. Polar bears have white, thick, creamy fur that helps them keep warm and is a good camouflage on the snowy landscape. An average male polar bear weighs over 1,000 pounds and is about ten feet long. A female polar bear is much smaller. They are about eight feet long. Sometimes Alaskan polar bears weigh over 1,500 pounds. Polar bears are only in the Arctic. When the snow melts in the summer polar bears move farther north. After the snow comes back the polar bears come back a littler farther south. Polar bears live in 5 different countries. They are the United States, Canada, Greenland, Russia, and Norway. All these countries have people who hate polar bears and hunt them. Polar bears are very curious animals. When they sniff something they stand on their hind legs to get a better scent. They will follow different kinds of tracks for many miles. The polar bears are very sensible about their food. Polar bears surprise attack a lot to get food. Polar bears do not have good eyesight, but polar bears are lucky because their sense of smell is excellent. Polar bears can smell a seal far away.

Polar Bear By: Jibu Banerji, Alex Donner, and Levi Smith The polar bear is the largest meat eating land dweller in the world. Polar bears live in the Arctic. Between 3,000 and 4,000 polar bears live along the northern coast of Alaska. Canada has about 155,000. The polar bears like areas near the shore where pack ice forms. In the winter it becomes too cold for all polar bears, so bears migrate when the weather changes. Mother polar bears and their cubs usually spend the winter in dens on land. In the spring, they return to the ice to hunt seals. When they migrate, polar bears often travel hundreds of miles. But they usually return each year to the same areas where they learned to hunt as young cubs. Polar bears feed mainly on seals. Ringed seals are the most important source of food for the polar bears . They also prey on bearded seals and sometimes a belugas or walrus. Polar bears hunt seals on the ice that floats on the Arctic ocean. They wait or stalk them while they rest on the ice. The seal is killed by a crushing blow to it's thin skull. Polar bears eat everything, they cannot afford to leave anything edible behind. In autumn, polar bears will patrol the coastal areas for whale or walrus carcasses. Sometimes ten to twenty bears may be found feeding together. At this time of year, their diet is more varied, including such land mammals as lemmings, Arctic foxes, and eider duck. Like most bears, polar bears also eat vegetation.
