The pristine ice is as always reflecting. In these unreal fogs, a little amount of aroma emerges near a snowdrift. A bear sniffs the freezing air. In the skin of the polar bear, we understand that ... I smell a seal! The aroma is that of a young ringed seal hidden under a thin layer of snow. A few strides, some legs strokes to release the cover, and There is the snack made from young seal. Under the sea ice, protected from bears by several meters of frozen ice, bélugas- white whales - hunted halibut ... with their eyes.
In their 3D environment, individuals communicate the good fishing spots for kilometers. The chatter of these ghost hunters are incessant. In contrast, in the South Pole, the leopards hunts in silence. They are nonetheless fine strategists. A hunter based on the view, experiences and above all a perfect knowledge of calendars prey. When parents penguins will they go to feed at sea, when will they come back, when younger penguins go to they take their first bath, what are their launching points? These are questions whose answers are part of the culture of hunting leopard seal which we follow the bays beneath the surface of sea ice covered with small dice of ice.
When the hunting season ends with the southern autumn, the northern spring awakens the polar bear who goes hunting. Thus loop a year in the life of ings of the poles.
