#Regram #RG natgeotravel: Photo by RalphLeeHopkins Where do #PolarBears go when there is no pack ice during the arctic summer? Some became grazing animals on shore, perhaps eating moss and lichens, while also scavenging for bird eggs. Here two polar bears appear as mountain goats on a steep hillside on #Barentsoya. The pack ice is important for polar bears as a platform for hunting seals, their main food source. When the ice disappears they become stranded on shore.
