It should support modularity and hierarchies of classes ( Polar bears are bears, which are animals ).

Polar bears are believed rarely to travel beyond about 82 ° North owing to the scarcity of food, though tracks have been seen in the vicinity of the North Pole, and a 2006 expedition reported sighting a polar bear just from the Pole.

Polar bears can hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.

Polar bears have evolved unique features for Arctic life.

Polar bears are thought to have diverged from a population of brown bears that became isolated during a period of glaciation in the Pleistocene.

Polar bears can breed with brown bears to produce fertile grizzly – polar bear hybrids, rather than indicating that they have only recently diverged, the new evidence suggests more frequent mating has continued over a longer period of time, and thus the two bears remain genetically similar.

Polar bears are the iconic symbol of Svalbard, and one of the main tourist attractions.

The population of polar bears are locally recovering from the major culls of the 1960s and 1970s that came about due to the availability of snow scooters ; however, the Polar bear remains threatened at a global level, due to unsustainable levels of killing by humans and due to marine water pollution.

Moreover, the sub-population of Ursus maritimus polar bears found here is a genetically distinct set of Polar Bears associated with the Barents Sea region.

Polar Boy and Night Girl appear in one panel of Legionnaires # 49, concluding that their unseen team is not ready to aid the Legion against Mordru ( Night Girl calls them a " poor substitute ").

The said limitations further affected the game's roster of playable characters ; Polar and Pura were originally to ride in the same kart and be played as a single character, but were ultimately split into separate characters, and both Komodo Brothers were to appear in the game before Komodo Moe was omitted.

Surveys of the SW Indian Ocean have shown phytoplankton group variation based on their location relative to the Polar Front, with diatoms dominating South of the front, and dinoflagellates and flagellates in higher populations North of the front < sup >.</ sup >

Polar unit vectors at two times t and t + dt for a particle with trajectory r ( t ); on the left the unit vectors u < sub > ρ </ sub > and u < sub > θ </ sub > at the two times are moved so their tails all meet, and are shown to trace an arc of a unit radius circle.

The Deep Space series was continued by the Deep Space 2 probes, which were launched in January 1999 on Mars Polar Lander and were intended to strike the surface of Mars.

* 1900 – Baron Eduard Toll, leader of the Russian Polar Expedition of 1900, departed Saint Petersburg in Russia on the explorer ship Zarya, never to return.

After returning home he went on a lecture circuit and wrote The People of the Polar North ( 1908 ), a combination travel journal and scholarly account of Inuit folklore.

* The Polar Bear ( Family Ursidae ) is sometimes considered a marine mammal because of its dependence on the sea.

Using a route along the previously unknown Axel Heiberg Glacier, they arrived at the edge of the Polar Plateau on 21 November after a four-day climb.

In 1882 – 1883, a German expedition for the First International Polar Year was stationed at Royal Bay on the southeast side of the island.

Other public offices with presence on Svalbard are the Norwegian Directorate of Mining, the Norwegian Polar Institute, the Norwegian Tax Administration and the Church of Norway.

Norway grants permission for any nation to conduct research on Svalbard, resulting in the Polish Polar Station and the Chinese Arctic Yellow River Station, plus Russian facilities in Barentsburg.

Based on studies by glaciologist Lonnie Thompson, professor at Ohio State University and researcher with the Byrd Polar Research Center, a number of indicators shows there was a global change in climate 5, 200 years ago, probably due to a drop in solar energy output as hypothesized by Ohio State University.

The Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM ) and Universal Polar Stereographic ( UPS ) coordinate systems both use a metric-based cartesian grid laid out on a conformally projected surface to locate positions on the surface of the Earth.

Brest is also an important research centre, mainly focused on the sea, with among others the largest Ifremer ( French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea ) centre, le Cedre ( Centre of Documentation, Research and Experimentation on Accidental Water Pollution ) and the French Polar Institute.

En route the South Pole party discovered the Beardmore Glacier, ( named after Shackleton's patron ), and became the first persons to see and travel on the South Polar Plateau.

Polar twilight occurs in areas that are located at the inner border of the polar circles, where the sun will be on or below the horizon all day on the winter solstice, although there may still be enough light for normal outdoor activities during civil twilight because of light scattering by the upper atmosphere and refraction.
