Original artwork description:
Dive into this watercolor painting that captures the silent grace of a polar bear submerged in the vibrant turquoise and ultramarine hues of the Arctic seas. The contrasting warm and cool tones serve as a visual metaphor for the ongoing climate crisis, reminding us of the urgent need to protect these majestic creatures and their vanishing habitat.
Polar bears make shallow dives when stalking prey, navigating ice floes, or searching for kelp.
Polar bears usually swim under water at depths of only about 3-4.5 m (9.8-14.8 ft.). They can remain submerged for more than one minute.
Maximum dive duration is unknown; however the longest polar bear dive observed to date lasted a total of 3 minutes and 10 seconds covering a distance of 45 to 50 m (148–164 ft.) without surfacing.
No one knows how deep a polar bear can dive. One researcher estimates that polar bears dive no deeper than 6 m (20 ft.).
