Land of the Ice Bears

Svalbard is the best place on the planet to see polar bears - wild, majestic and in their native habitat. In this episode, we venture into the arctic on a Linblad Expedition led by a team of veteran naturalists and wildlife photographers in search of spotting these and other ice dwelling wildlife. But with hundreds of miles of ice and snow to scan, there are no guarantees. And with 100 paying guests on board, the pressure is on the Captain and his crew to deliver a sighting before the ship turns around and heads home. (National Geographic)
