polar bear in the bird cliff

25 July 2013
A bird cliff seems a safe nesting site. But I have seen spectacular climbs of polar foxes into the cliffs. And Arjen Drost observed even a polar bear looking for food. At Alkefjellet on the east coast of Spitsbergen, he made these pictures after first observing the base-jump of cliff nesting barnacle geese.
The stories about polar bears exploiting new food sources are highly relevant for this species adapting to or suffering from climate change.
