That music is just... so freaking beautiful.
As humans we are selfish as some don't acknowledge the fact that we share this planet with other species, we must come together to save the animals and are selves.
This is a thing of absolute beauty. Can do nothing but apologize for our ignorant consumer generation and how we are destroying these animals homes. We have the intelligence beyond these animals to improve their lives and yet our greed is destroying them. For thousands of years they have swam miles in clear, temperature balanced oceans. F**in disaster. We can't see the woods through the trees.
go vegan
Until you mess up and they eat you
Capitalism is rapidly destroying the planet, and that is why polar bears are going extinct :-(
@@kayla4619 Vegans do more damage to the planet than meat eaters you absolute moron.
this video just reminds us how much ice has melted due to human influence. so sad. such beautiful animals. they all deserve so much better
Nature is the most beautiful thing on the entire earth. My love and admiration for animals is infinite.
Redundant statement
never seen footage like this before. amazing!
It makes me burst into tears when seeing polar bears swimming days and nights nonstop in the open ocean where land is not in the sight, they look so lonely and need a good rest :(( If they are exhausted before reaching land, they simply get drawn. If they have to swim for several days, does that mean they cannot sleep in those days.
Worst way to die
I'm sure they wouldn't object to climbing in your bedroom window, eating you alive,, sleeping in your bed and not reading your diary. What I'm trying to say is that it's probably better that the polar bears are swimming hundreds of miles instead of encroaching on you. Dry your eyes and enjoy the distance of nature.
No, these animals are used to that, they usually eat large amounts of food so that their energy is spent on it, these animals are great swimmers and they live off of that, my respects.
It makes me more sad to see bears in zoo and shopping malls
cry somewhere else
We need to save our wildlife. Without it our world wouldn't be as beautiful as it is.

Decades ago didn't have oil companies drilling and spilling oil and Fukushima radiation is spreading across the globe. Black Dust (Wigner effect) also known as the decomposition effect, is the disintegration of metals, airplanes, the entire infrastructure of our planet (including humans), by weakening and making it brittle and that includes ice.
unclesamtookmymoney That would be true, but only if you excluded; tigers, leopards, lions, crocodilians, Komodo dragons, hyenas, cougars, sharks, and a wide variety of other animals.
ThePoodlenoodler There are only 14 deaths by shark attacks per year. More people are killed by vending machines.
Now tell me, do sharks still hunt people deliberately?
Nathan Stephenson My point was obviously not that sharks are responsible for a large number of human deaths. And I don't see how them not killing many people disqualifies them from having deliberately hunted humans before.
Many times when people are attacked it's because they were mistaken by the shark for a seal or some other prey animal, and the shark then proceeded to hunt them as they would any other animal. This means that, yes, sharks do on occasion deliberately hunt humans.
Deliberately would not be the correct word then.
beautiful but damn.... so sad....
This brought tears to my eyes man. I felt so helpless looking at this, I wish i could help.
I don't think buying them a snorkel and flippers would help but it is an idea. They looked like they were doing a pretty good job. Maybe you could make them a nice tofurkey or something. Peckish.
I'm thoroughly surprised, not about the disappearing ice and this beautiful video but that GoPro is involved with the global warming issue to help show American citizens, the world and especially the energy industries that we're ready for change and they can't keep on drilling, digging, mining and fracking the earth.
Thanks GoPro!
Aquariel Charm plant based eating can and will save them
Damn, impressed they know the concept of drafting.
Incredible footage
Lovely, amazing, and the best video posted yet. I almost shed a tear. I wish I was there.
IMPRESIONANTE!!!!!
Para no parar de verlo en HD fullscreen.
poor the polar bears I've cried so much. I wish all of the people in this world know this. thank GoPro
Natural selection at its finest
Video of the Day!
Take a swim with a polar bear family as they traverse the Arctic Ocean in search of disappearing sea ice.
FANTASTICO!!! BEAUTIFUL
Where is the damn - option? 'sea ice declining due to climate change' propaganda!
Lies hurt more
Go head poalar bear
That's sad
can't help but cry the whole time...
Sad thing is Kids at School are shown pictures of the World and Cartoons of Polar bears and I think they just expect them to be living as they do. That Lions do actually Roam in Africa, That penguins do actually live in the Arctic. That fish are actually in the Sea. The Next generation all these things will be shown and taught in Schools but it will be like teaching them about dinosaurs becuase it won't actually really exist.
Arctic ice (where polar bears live) is in decline 15.6% per decade but Antarctica is growing 1% per decade. Arctic sea ice minimum in 1979 was16855 km cubed and in 2012 it was 3261 km cubed. Some of the reasons why Antarctica is growing is mostly likely from the change in circulation and the wind patterns. Als, around 98% or so of sea-ice (not including the poles) are melting and not growing. Please like so others can see.
Awesome camera!
BTW... There is no sea ice in the inlets during the summer. Bears are just moving to different fishing grounds...
Glen Patras this is good to realize. Thank you
Beautiful and heart melting!
majestic as fuck
Your comment cracked us up! Good one :)
Ути какие большие и мягкие! Восхитительное видео!
Incredible! Very interested in seeing how this was made...
Polar bears have been my favorite animals ever since i was a child. i love them so much ;( this video made me upset.
so majestic
Just an awesome film - absolutely adore this. Such amazing quality too! ♥♥♥
We have to save them !!!
You say that but will you change your life for them? Words just don't really do anything anymore. Good thought though. Annoyed at me saying this? OK so I assume you tell at least your own family everyday at steps they can do to save the animals and their home(planet)? You don't? If people can;t even convince their closest freinds/family then it is near impossible to change government policy. Feel uncomfortable asking people to change? Again will be near impossible to change government policy if some great individuals can't even talk openly to close freinds and family. Give it a try. Don't know what changes to make? A quick google research and you will find all the info you need. Won't take up much of your day. One person convincing their own freinds and family spreads like wild fire. Government policy comes from the people not from those in charge. You are a great individual Vdk. The polar bears would swim miles for you.
go vegan
Mn B plant based eating can and will save them. animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change.
Wow,I'm crying ...... wonderful!!!
OMG they're amazing
Gracias por esta entrega, tan hermosa y llena de vida. Amo a los osos polares..! Likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.!

I'm craving a Coke for some reason...
ur looking at literal ice
why wouldn’t you be craving for some coke or pepsi?
Woah, this is amazing
Beautiful
this is inspirational.
My heart broke watching this, just knowing that a polar bear could just be swimming for hours to even days to find nothing :(
I'm glad they were able to find land.
Hermoso video!
Unbelievable film, inportant message!
GoPro is giving us a little bit of peace in this world thanks :D
Magnifique!
Images sublimes !!!
Hammer video!
It's summer time, cold things are gonna be in decline.
+jkcrusher18 It's still the Arctic, so there should still be ice. The Titanic sank in mid-April, after all.
The Arctic has been ice-free many times in the past and there is photographic evidence of it back in the 50's and earlier. The Titanic sunk off the coast of Newfoundland, not the Arctic and it hit an iceberg. Why would you even bring that up? There's no comparison AT ALL.
Laura Griffin I know it sunk off the coast of Newfoundland. But if there's ice that far south, then logically there must be ice in the Arctic during April. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots.
Just because one section of the ocean was ice free doesn't mean that the entirety of the Arctic Ocean was ice free. Do you have any scientific data that says that the Arctic was ice free back then? One that shows the ice levels? One that has data collected from Arctic ice samples? If not, then your claim has no basis. (By the way, Al Gore and the other supply-side think tank scientists are not legitimate scientists. Research has to be from a legitimate institution or university, like NASA, NOAA, or Harvard).
A-MA-ZING PICS !!! GREAT
This is devastating. So sad, can't help but cry. A family of polar bears swimming, searching for ice when there's not much left... :'(
WOW! This hit me hard in the feels 😔
Просто превосходно!!!
It's just amazing
Amazing video! Loved this!
This video shows how well people are doing on our earth and how we are slowly destroying them.. God please protect all living beings on this earth. thank you Go pro for this breathtaking video 🙏
Wow this beautiful, until the sad ending.
Amazing video.
Great footage from Adam Ravetch. Blaze thanks for getting it to GoPro.
Amazing. Thank you
lets take a moment to praise the cameraman for swimming 100 miles with the bear
아름다워...
What a beautiful...
Congratulations, exquisit.
Sick video!
That was awsome!
so cute!!!
Beautiful animals :)
rally amazing!!!!
Feels are coming....
Let's just make something clear. Antarctic ice hit record highs this past winter and all glaciers are still there and growing. This is normal, and awesome footage of polar bear business as usual.
To be fair though, I think what they're hinting at is that our winters are getting more wintery (it's a word trust me!) and our summers are getting more oh fuck it's hot as knobs outside. Thus they're getting boned in the summer.
Idfk. Bears are fuzzy and I'd prefer a Nordic planet anyway. Growing up where it's cold all the time woot woot
Waterlust, Correct I meant to say Antarctic. Arctic levels are up 50% from last year which was a record low. Point I was trying to make was that our ice caps and glaciers are all at healthy levels despite the fearmongering our goverments are trying to pass off to those willing to take their word for it.
How can people be so wrong and act like they are so right?
grist.org/news/thanks-to-shrinking-sea-ice-national-geographic-puts-global-warming-on-the-map/?
i was in Lake Louise Alberta about 18 yrs ago. across the beautiful green lake was a massive glacier in the valley. its gone now. sea ice is in decline, global warming is real and it is to late to do anything about it.
Cap n' trade.. carbon credits.. That's what you should be afraid of. Not the global warming fear mongers, their junk science and BS computer models that have been wrong 19 years in a row.

Fantastic.....
Как....., как они смогли это записать?! 0_о
Omg that was so cool
Очень красиво !
I love animals
The feels!!!
Incredible world
Thank god they find the land !!
Awesome!!beautyfull excellent picture.
Que animal tan hermoso.
Heartbreaking.
Amazing
That bear is more likely running away from the boat, the plane, and the camera chasing him, and that harassing photographer.
Lawrence L It isn’t my experience that polar bears are afraid of anything.
beautiful ;)
キレイ綺麗
This video made me cry...😭
Why?
epic video fantastic
Nice GoPro ad!
amazing....we take so much for granted on this crazy little rock of ours we call earth.
Stunning although the music makes it so much better
beautiful and sad ate the same time.
Soundtrack: Rhian Sheehan - A Better Place
Music is amazing...
