Between Bears & Ice

Hudson Bay is freezing. Ice is coming. The bears wait.

As the ice comes in

Along the shores of Hudson Bay, the bears are waiting for one thing: ice. As temperatures fall and the bay begins to freeze, the landscape they depend on slowly returns.

For polar bears, sea ice is more than frozen water. It is hunting ground.

These stories are the days in between.
