See the Arctic from a polar bear's POV
Bakhtiari and videographer Adam Ravetch worked with United States Geological Survey biologists to fit camera collars on 4 female polar bears in Alaska this spring. The cameras captured life on - and under - the ice in 10 minute bursts.
Although biologists have been able to track bears by GPS for some time, these cameras provide new insight into the bears' daily activities. The results were surprising: a bear chases a seal in the water in one clip, and along with a potential mate, plays with her food.

More polar bear footage will be available this fall.
