Shelves soar over 70 feet around a vast reading room, crowned by a monumental stained-glass skylight that makes daylight part of the design.Desktop Version

They gather along the shores of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada, waiting for sea ice to form so they can head back out to hunt seals. That annual spectacle inspired Polar Bear Week, observed during the first week of November, a celebration of the Arctic"s largest land predator. Polar bears are powerful swimmers, expert hunters, and remarkably adapted to life in one of Earth"s harshest environments. Yet shrinking sea ice means many spend longer on land, making it harder to find food and raising the risk of encounters with people.Desktop Version
