Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) use of the Cape Bathurst polynya and flaw lead

open access: yesArctic Science, 2022
The Cape Bathurst polynya and flaw lead (CBP) are major, predictable habitat features with ≤15% ice cover in an otherwise ice-covered Beaufort Sea, and thought to provide hunting opportunities for polar bears (Ursus maritimus Phipps, 1774).
