Polar bear cam - live from the tundra

Right now, along the northern coasts of Arctic countries, polar bears are waiting for the sea to freeze before they go out to hunt again. And now, you can see them.

Explore.org, Polar Bears International and Frontiers North Adventures have teamed up to bring the majesty of wild polar bears to the world. 

The "Tundra Buggy" roves the tundra tracking polar bears and other native species with a live camera.

"Every Fall, Churchill’s polar bears gather along the shores of Hudson Bay to wait for the ice to form so they can return to their seal-hunting grounds. During that time, they’re in a state known as walking hibernation.
But freeze-ups are coming later each year—and melt-offs sooner—straining the limits of their fat reserves. That’s why this population is considered the most endangered. It’s up to us to take action to help them." - from explore.org

The Arctic needs protection, for the wildlife that live there, and for all of us that depend on stable weather systems. A world wide movement is building to protect the Arctic.

Join the millions behind our campaign to save the Arctic from industrial catastrophe.
