We met this young polar bear as we were circumnavigating Wrangel Island off the north-east coast of Siberia. He did not seem at all worried about us and gradually walked over to the ship. On the way, he stopped and appears to be looking at his reflection. This made me reflect about climate change and how long his icy world might be able to sustain him. It made me even more determined to do whatever I can to alleviate climate change and encourage others to do the same.
