Footage by an Arctic cruise-goer shows how a polar bear travels along half-frozen sheets of ice with aplomb, then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMYgDOhT9bo dries itself off on snow. Video taken by Emma Postolec near the Arctic shows the animal jumping from one sheet of ice to another, falling in the frigid water, then lowering its torso onto a snowy sheet of ice and using its hind legs to scoot along. The polar bear can also be seen rolling around in the snow. Another video uploaded by Postolec on October 5 showing the bear pulling itself across a sheet of ice on its belly went viral, with many people commending the animal for its technique, which is similar to what's https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5404292.pdf recommended to humans traversing thin ice. One user admired the bear's "engineering" in a https://twitter.com/N0rbertElekes/status/1580842817110228993 Twitter comment. (Footage by Emma Postolec/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
