August 17th 9 polars bears were spotted in the Chukta sea in open ocean. Several were heading north to the ice edge-400 miles away on that day. Polar bears have been known to swim 100 miles, but the ordeal leaves them exhausted and prone to drowning.
This is the second lowest level of Arctic Ice since satellite history-and it is still plunging, with a good chance of topping last year's record low.
