The Arctic islands play an important role in the Polar Bear life cycle. They need alternative platforms to survive when the ice recedes. Wrangel Island is perfect for them, as it provides a large landmass with diverse landscapes and productive marine habitats for optimal hunting. Thanks to the nutrient-rich Chukchi Sea, Polar Bears in this region are still able to feed, despite having one month less on sea ice.
