Northern Exposure

Northern Exposure is of a lonely polar bear hanging out on a small iceberg. This mini is a reminder of the life struggles of polar bears including diminished sea ice which is crucial for their survival in the wild north. This oil painting measures 8.5" x 8.5" x 1.5" deep and is framed in a custom grey-stained wood floater frame. It is wired to hang on a wall or can sit on a shelf. This mini comes wrapped and ready for holiday gifting to a special someone or to add to your own art collection!

Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt seals. Melting sea ice is reducing the time polar bears must hunt seals, increasing the time they must fast and forcing them to rely on their fat stores for longer. Polar bears also need sea ice to travel and mate, meaning it is essential for their reproduction and survival!
