Renowned underwater explorer, Jill Heinerth trades caves for a chance to swim with polar bears in the Arctic
Honestly, I’m terrified. The thought of jumping in the water to act as polar bear bait makes me wonder whether I should be here at all. I don’t relish finishing my life as some animal’s chew toy, but I am also excited about the possibility of getting a shot of a polar bear swimming from below. Polar bears typically hunt on top of the ice, but climate change has forced them into the water to find food. With the loss of sea ice, they are swimming seven times more than just twenty years ago.
