This pair, surrounded by miles of open ocean, will almost certainly die from starvation or drowning as global warming melts what little ice they have left. The bears, which hunt on land and in the sea, can swim short distances near the shore.

But long journeys leave them exhausted and suffering from hypothermia — and they are eventually overcome by the waves.

For the first time scientists near the bears home in Beaufort, Alaska, are recording huge numbers of carcasses in the sea. Steven Amstrup said: “We know some have swum for up to 100 miles in a desperate attempt to find food or an ice floe before drowning. It is an increasing problem.”
