Summary

Description
English: I early summer, the Hinlopen strait at the archipelago of Svalbard often still is filled with dense drift ice. This gives the female polar bears who give birth to their cubs on Barentsøya or Edgeøya the chance to reach the northern pack ice regions with plenty of preys in due time.
Deutsch: Im Frühsommer ist die Hinlopenstraße östlich von Spitzbergen oft noch voller Treibeis. Dies ermöglicht den Eisbärweibchen, die ihre Jungen auf der Barentsøya oder der Edgeøya bekommen, das Packeis im Norden mit seinen reichen Jagdgründen rechtzeitig zu erreichen.
