"And just… oh, should we go? There's a bear there, it's crossing the road. We heard crackers going off, and now the polar bear alert team are moving around, so we're gonna get back in the car. So you can just see it through the trees there."

“并且……哦，我们是不是应该离开这？那里有一头熊，它正在穿越公路。我们听到驱熊的空包弹的声音了，而且现在北极熊预警小组也开始行动了，所以我们要回到车里。你刚好能在那边的树丛后面看到它。”

Known as 'the polar bear capital of the world', conservation scientists come here to monitor one of the most southerly polar bear populations in the world.

The bears gather here, waiting for the bay to freeze and hunt seals, but warming temperatures delay this longer each year.
北极熊会在这里聚集，等待海湾结冰从而捕猎海豹，但逐年升高的气温让这场等待变得越来越久。
Alysa McCall, Polar Bears International
"We had about 1,200 polar bears here in the 1980s, and now we have closer to about 618. So we've lost almost about 50% of these polar bears in the last several decades."
阿莉莎·麦考尔 北极熊国际协会
“1980 年代间这里有大约 1200 头北极熊，但现在北极熊的数量大约为 618 头。所以说这里的北极熊数量在过去的几十年间减少几乎约 50%。”
The longer the bears stay on shore, the hungrier they get, and they may turn to alternative food sources, including humans.
北极熊在岸上停留的时间越久就会越饥饿，然后它们可能就会转向其它食物来源，包括人类。
