In which countries are polar bears found?
Polar Bears are native to the pack/sea Ice of the Arctic. There are therefore to be found in the countries which border this pack Ice, including Greenland, Norway (Svalbard), Canada, Alaska etc.
How many cubic feet are in a cubic meter of ice?
27 cubic feet
Why most of Greenland is covered with snow?
The Greenland ice sheet covers about 80 percent of Greenland! It's the second-biggest ice sheet in the world, after Antarctica
Why is Greenland names Greenland when it is covered in ice?
because when it has no ice its all green
Were do the Greenland shark live?

What is an ice sheet?
The only current ice sheets are Antarctic and Greenland; during the last ice age at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much of Canada and North America, the Weichselian ice sheet covered northern Europe and the Patagonian Ice Sheet covered southern South America. The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. The Greenland ice sheet occupies about 82% of the surface of Greenland, and if melted would cause sea levels to rise by 7.2 metres. Estimated changes in the mass of Greenland's ice sheet suggest it is melting at a rate of about 239 cubic kilometres (57.3 cubic miles) per year. Ice sheets are bigger than ice shelves or glaciers. Masses of ice covering less than 50,000 square kilometers are termed an ice cap. An ice cap will typically feed a series of glaciers around its periphery.
What percentage of land is covered by ice in Greenland?
The Greenland ice sheet covers 80 percent of the total area of land in Greenland. It is the largest island in the world.
Is Greenland a mountain?

Where can poler bear can be found in the wild?
In the Arctic, on pack ice during the winter and in Northern Canada, Greenland, and other Arctic landmasses and islands during the summer.
How are the polar ice caps being affected?
The sea ice in the Arctic is not called an ice cap, which is ice that lies on land, like Greenland and Antarctica. Greenland's ice cap, and the glaciers formed where the ice meets the sea, have been melting at an increasing rate every year. Recent data showed an annual melting of 195 cubic kilometers (47 cubic miles). East Antarctica is not showing much change, but West Antarctica, especially the peninsula, is warming, its glaciers are melting and its ice shelves, undermined by the warming ocean, are breaking off and floating off as icebergs.
