I worked in the high Arctic in Resolute Bay, Arctic Bay and Nanisivik roaming around the villages to find food. Seeing them was part of the landscape and at times was dangerous in winter time because of complete darkness season. I talk to a friend of mine whom child went to Arctic Bay for six months and told me that polar bear are almost nowhere to be found nowadays. It is a shame. It seems that the do not longer have the mean to cross from the Baffin Island to surrounding islands. Resolute is located on the Little Cornwalis Island, North-West of Baffin Island. Nanisivik is located 20 miles from Arctic Bay. It is a sight nobody can forget. Because of high winds, mothers were bringing their cubs on building sides where there would be the least wind. How did they know where the wind would come from, nobody knew. The joke at the time was that it was better for pilots to look at polar bears behaviours than getting information from the weather station. It seems that it is the very same problem for arctic fox in the Hall Beach region where they can no longer leave the peninsula.
