Polar Bears: A SeeMoreHD Exclusive!
Live streaming and High Definition

Polar bears live on the shores of Hudson Bay each fall waiting for the first cold days of winter. Once frozen, the Bay will becomes a highway to the Arctic where the bears will hunt ringed and bearded seals.

Each fall, around mid October, SeeMore also heads out to the tundra to build a different sort of highway. It's a digital highway that delivers live and HD video of the beautiful bears to the world.

We connect a very tricked-out Tundra Buggy ™ to the Internet. Via a 45mb wireless link that we build across the tundra, we produce live and same-day HD footage of the polar bears on the National Geographic website, and on our website.

It's all part of a larger effort led by Polar Bears International to increase awareness about polar bears. Frontiers North's Tundra Buggy® Adventure provides access to wild polar bears and Buggy One. Lisa, Eli and Daniel (the frozen Zatz family) spend a portion of each fall on Buggy One along with our production and uplink equipment.

Are Polar Bears OK?
Polar bears are beautiful, and we might still have them in fifty years if we act now. The ice they walk upon is disappearing along with the common sense of our political leaders. Climate change is impacting the bears. Learn more about the polar bear story here.
