He is working on the French-German Arctic Research Base AWIPEV. During the summer, Lucas regularly saw polar bears around the base. From the buildings he has a clear view of the fjord and the island of Prins Heinrich-\u00f8ya located 400m from the shore. This island, which is included in the Kongsfjorden bird sanctuary, is particularly frequented by polar bears: they come to feed on birds&#8217; eggs and hunt seals which bask on the sandbank.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas and his colleagues saw once a polar bear feeding on a seal on the beach, another one swimming between the island and the beach. <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">A female and her two young<\/span> were even seen on the shore one day, on February 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The polar bear is very curious. Sometimes, one of them may approach the village of Ny-\u00c5lesund by curiosity, or to find food. The employees must then stay in the buildings and contact the Watchman, who use a distress gun to keep the polar bear away.<\/p>\n<p>In winter, there are no birds on the island and polar bears migrate further north on the archipelago. Lucas still saw two of them this winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>We thank Lucas for sharing his experience and we wish him good luck to pursue his mission on the station.
