Global warming is rapidly melting the sea ice polar bears depend on. Accounts of bears starving and drowning are on the rise as they are forced to swim farther and farther to reach the solid ice they need for hunting and resting. Some bears are even turning to cannibalism in a desperate search for food. Those trapped on land hundreds of miles from the nearest ice are often shot as they wander, starving, near villages.

Beginning of this month three arctic explorers began their task to measure the depth of the Arctic ice at its typically deepest and most expansive point: the end of winter.

Pen Hardow, Ann Daniels, and Martin Hartley will trek nearly 700 miles north with a sledge full of equipment, which includes radar that will constantly measure ice thickness. Their goal is to turn satellite images into on the ground, measurable data.

They will also try to answer many questions like: Will the Arctic be ice free in summers to come? Will polar bears have a place cold enough to live? Will penguins live?

To survive at many points they’ll put on survival suits and swim.

The project will end up by May.
