Footage provided courtesy of the Oregon Zoo on Tuesday shows this adorable 10 month-old polar bear cub named Nora playing in a pool of Ice at her enclosure in Portland. Nora explored her new enclosure, wriggling around in a tub of crushed ice and swimming in the pool. The young polar bear will be taking some time to settle into her new home, and if all continues to go well, Zoo visitors can expect to see her later in October.
Footage courtesy of the Oregon Zoo shows Nora, a 10-month old polar bear cub, playing in a tub full of ice and swimming around in a pool while she was adjusting to her new home. Nora was born in the Columbus Zoo in Ohio back in November 2015 and flew in to Portland just last month. The adorable little cub will soon join 31-year-old female Tasul in the polar bear exhibit. Nora will join Tasul and other polar bears at the Oregon Zoo in helping climate scientists track polar bear diets and movements using a high-tech collar. The data is being used to help researchers develop methods to investigate the effect of retreating sea ice on polar bears.
Researchers discovered rippling bubbles of methane under the grass in Bely Island in the Kara Sea. The phenomenon is caused by gas coming from underground and becoming trapped by the topsoil. Researchers concluded that those patches are the results of global warming and abnormal heat that made the permafrost melt.

Researchers are looking to the past to gain a clearer picture of what the future holds for ice in the Arctic. A project to analyse and digitize ship logs dating back to the 1850's aims to lengthen the timeline of recorded ice data. Ben Gruber reports.
