ON THIN ICE
Paul Nicklen waited patiently on a sheet of ice in the artic. He was there to take picture for The
National Geograpich. Finally, he saw something big and white. It was a polar bear, swimming
toward him in the icy water.
Paul lay down on the ice to get a better photo, but the bear jumped out of the water and tried to
attack him! Luckily for Paul, the ice cracked, or broke, and the bear fell into the water. The polar
bear wasn’t so lucky. It couldn’t get a meal and had to swim farther away to find food.
To understand the polar bear’s problem, you need to know two things about the Arctic. First, the
Arctic is mostly ocean. Second, ice covers a lot of the Arctic Ocean. In winter, the ice forms a thick,
white sheet, but in summer, the ice is thinner and breaks into pieces. Sea ice is the key to survival
for Arctic animals. However, because of the global warming, Arctic temperatures are rising and
polar ice is melting.
Polar bears need ice too hunt seals, their favorite meal. They stand on the ice and wait for the seals
to come up for air. As Arctic ice melts, polar bears have to swim farther to find ice floes, or large
pieces of floating ice. Sometimes, bears have to swim more than 200 Km to find and ice floe. Some
bears cannot swim that far and sadly, they drown.
On his last trip, Paul Nicklen saw three polar ear carcasses. Before global warming threatened
Arctic ice, a dead bear was a rare sight. Paul is sad to see the dead bodies. Wildlife experts think
global warming will have a terrible effect on polar bear. In the future, polar ice will continue to
shrink and endanger the bears. Some scientists believe 65 percen of the world’s polar bear will
disappear by 2050. In other words, polar bears are in danger of becoming extinct.
2. Why was the polar bear that tried to attack Paul unlucky?
a. Paul swam away. b. It was I ice floe. c. It couldn’t eat Paul.
