Figure 1: Aerial view of the Austfonna ice cap on Nordauslandet Island in Svalbard. In summer, melting causes incredible "lines" on the top of the ice cap, from where rivers flow about 30 meters high into the sea.
Figure 2: A polar bear (Ursus maritimus) rests on an iceberg in front of the Austfonna ice cap in Svalbard during summer. The bear stands at the edge of the iceberg and constantly watches the water for seals.
Figure 3: Aerial view of a large group of belugas in the polar waters of Svalbard in summer, along the coast of Isfjorden. There were about 200 individuals.
Figure 4: Aerial view of the Greenland Ice Sheet in the area of Ilulissat on the west coast of Greenland. This region is undergoing major changes. Surface thawing of the ice sheet is beginning earlier and earlier, with less and less snow accumulating in winter, resulting in a large decrease in ice mass.
