Polar Bears Seen Swimming For Their Lives

An aerial survey off the northwest coast of Alaska in mid-August found at least nine polar bears swimming in open waters, with one foundering at least 60 miles from shore.
The discovery came just before U.S. scientists announced that Arctic sea ice has shrunk to its second-lowest coverage on record.
“To find so many polar bears at sea at one time is extremely worrisome because it could be an indication that as the sea ice on which they live and hunt continues to melt, many more bears may be out there facing similar risk,” said Geoff York, polar bear coordinator for the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Arctic program.
