Interesting. A polar bear can swim 200 miles. But yet one picture of a polar bear on an iceberg and we are suppose to be in a panic, as if there is not more solid ground within swimming distance of the poor bear.

"The tragedy is being cited as a reminder of the impact that receding North Pole ice has on its animal inhabitants..."
Do you know how they keep track of how much pressure the bears are under? - with a bearometer.

This bear probably floated 195 miles on an ice shelf and maybe swam five miles to shore. They have been known to swim 20 miles but it’s not an everyday affair.
