(FILES) A male polar bear bear walks on the sea ice near glaciers in eastern Spitzbergen, in the Svalbard archipelago, on April 9, 2025. Their icy hunting grounds are rapidly shrinking, but polar bears in Norway's remote Svalbard archipelago have defied the odds by bulking up instead of wasting away, a study said on January 29, 2026. The Barents Sea has lost sea ice faster than other areas with polar bears as temperatures have risen there more than in other Arctic regions, according to the research published in the journal Scientific Reports. But instead of growing leaner like polar bears in other parts of the Arctic where the sea ice where they hunt is retreating, those in Svalbard have gained body fat. (Photo by Olivier MORIN / AFP)
