Polar bear standing on edge of ice cliff above Arctic ocean, symbol of wildlife and melting ice.

Polar bear (*Ursus maritimus*) stands on an ice ledge overlooking the Arctic Ocean. The scene captures the expansive white ice sheet contrasting with the deep blue water. The ice appears jagged and layered, indicating its fragility and the challenges posed by climate change. The cloudy sky adds to the dramatic atmosphere of a vast, frigid landscape. This setting highlights the polar bear's habitat, symbolizing the impact of melting ice.
