Scientists study adapting polar bears in Svalbard as ice melts, but future remains uncertain.
The Norwegian Polar Institute has been studying polar bears in the Svalbard archipelago for four decades, adapting methods to track the impacts of rapid global warming.
This year, scientists are using new techniques, including monitoring "forever chemicals" in the bears' bodies.
They observe that polar bears are changing their diet to include more land-based foods due to melting ice, but are still adapting better than expected.
Despite this, the future is uncertain as further ice loss could affect their ability to hunt seals, their primary food source.
