Now Steve that we're in the brush ice created from the glacier carving, it's a great place to search for polar bears.
So they'll swim up on seals?
They'll swim up on seals. As long as the seal's a bit dosey on the ice, they'll come up with the explosive power onto the ice and grab the seal.
So real ambush tactics then?
Yeah.
What about this bear here? Is it likely to be a female then? And could it have cubs out here? Is it unlikely?
Unlikely to have cubs in this because the glacier's carving the whole time. It's quite a dangerous place.
Actually...
It looks like it's eating something.
It actually makes sense to hunt here because he's got himself a big bearded seal.
He's got a lot of good eating on one of them I should bet.
There's another. There's another one.
There's another bear closing in on the young male.
He's picked up the scent and he's heading straight for the kill.
This is a fully mature adult male and he means business.
If the youngster doesn't give way, this could really kick off.
Just look at the size of him.
Let's hope the young male sees sense and backs away.
Luckily the youngster seems to know his place and he's retreated to the edge of the ice.
He must be desperate because he's going back for more.
That's an extraordinary sight.
You very rarely see two unrelated males sharing food.
Goes to show that there's a lot of food here.
He's too big, fat and healthy to be quite comfortably eating side by side.
Just look at the size of them.
I never thought I was going to get anywhere near this close.
That is absolutely fantastic.
Male polar bears are huge and just look at their teeth and claws.
They're twice the size of a tiger.
They're not only the biggest bear in the world, they're the biggest land carnivore on earth.
