According to a report from the Norwegian Polar Institute. The Polar Bear, a female, is one with a satellite transmitter attached, allowing researchers to monitor the bears movements throughout the year – and locate the exact point of the incident: 79.129 degrees North and 16.219 degrees East. According to researcher Jon Aars, if there are many years of poor ice conditions, polar bears may continue to move inland for prey and in doing so offer clues as to how they might adapt to a warming Arctic.

I et normalår ligger tallet på rundt 80 prosent. Det gjør 2008 til det dårligste året for svalbardreinen siden 1996, sier forsker Audun Stien i NINA ved Polarmiljøsenteret i Tromsø i en pressemelding.
- I februar hadde dyra vi målte 17 prosent lavere vekt sammenlignet med hva som er normalt for årstiden og i april var de 21 prosent lettere enn normalen. Dette hadde en massiv virkning på den reproduktive evnen til reinsdyra, sier forskeren.

“Our research shows that less than ten percent of the females got calfs this year. In a normal year this number is around 80 percent. That makes 2008 the worst year for Svalbard reindeer since 1996″

Researcher Audun Trail in NINA by Polarmiljøsenteret of Tromsø in a press release.
“In February we had animals measured at 17 percent lower weight compared to what is normal for the season and in April they were 21 percent lighter than normal. This had a massive effect on their reproductive ability, said the researcher. (Source NRK)
