someone who has seen these changes is arctic explorer and adventurer hilde falun strom. with her husband steinar and alaskan malamute ettra, hilde is taking us out on an overnight expedition to show how nature is changing. if we're lucky, we could see whales, reindeers and birds, of course, maybe an arctic fox. and if we're super lucky, i mean, a polar bear? and very soon, we are in luck. amazing! amazing. they look extremely chilled. very much so. you see the cub sort of teasing her mum a little bit. so... but, yeah, they're super calm. to survive as a polar bear now, i think you have to be super good at hunting because their main source of food, the seals, they are diminishing. and the ice that both the seal and the polar bears are dependent on are diminishing. it's getting less and less ice. and that's really scary. and...nowhere else in the world do you find polar bears where there are no ice. so, if the ice is disappearing, the polar bears are going to disappear. it's really sad, super sad. and it sort of... the polar bear has to me, and i'm sure to everyone, it's be
