[sammmuuuhhh]

The fact that this was 11 years ago is breaking me

[jenni]

It's amazing the position he takes to distribute weight equally through his body by dragging.

[CarmenFlores-viix]

This is tragic, this is our faults. Im sorry polar bears. You deserve better.

[NHLObsessed]

aww this is sad :o(
Polar Bears are my favourite animal.

[analiciaherde]

this is so very upsetting, , this is our fault and we don’t care because it doesn’t affect us directly.

[calvin.barnes]

The fact that this video was posted 11 years ago... and we still haven’t done anything

[justacatthatsconfused]

I guess I'm just too tough to cry
Me: bawling my eyes out

[bofhdo]

such a beautiful creature, I adore him so much.

All we do is take take take. Never give back. We are destroying our own home and the animals are having to deal with this when its not even their fault. This brought me to tears. Poor baby.

[kota-zlup]

I am literally in tears. Our world is so rotten.

[fatulalaloo]

wow how interesting the bear never gave up just continued striving for surprised how it gingerly used the surface area of its body by laying it all on the ice to distribute it on the ice and not crack it how intelligent it must b good job bear

[Mhsmartcookie]

The whole time i was like " GET UP, GET UP!!!"

[danesbadillo]

I’m sobbing right now I wanto to save them, but I don’t know how

[MIDIBoss]

Yay he made it!! :D
I was getting all sad for a moment.

[teresavirina]

I feel for the icebear. It is alarming to know as what narrator said, even in winter, the ice has become thinner!!!

[bitepiers]

I guess I'm just too tough to cry!

[luigix]

[zintex]

1:06 Man I love how he just drags his rear legs. for a moment it looks humorous.

You give the impression that the thin ice surrounds it for miles. As you can see, in this case the ice thickened right up after about 5 metres. Even if the thick ice was was considerably further away the polar bear could easily break its way through to it.
