George Divoky has studied Arctic ecosystems in Alaska since 1970 when, as a researcher for the Smithsonian Institution, he participated in the Coast Guard's survey of the Arctic Ocean adjacent to Prudhoe Bay. Since 1975, he has lived for three months alone every summer on remote Cooper Island, at the edge of the Arctic pack ice, where his observations of Black Guillemots (a bird species) provide one of the best examples of a biological response to the reality of global warming in the Arctic. This video also describes encounters with increasing numbers of polar bears as the Arctic ice retreats.
