Polar Bears and the R9

[dave lackey]

Lately, I have taken an interest in Polar Bears.😱 Never paid much attention to the global warming, wildlife thing before, but now it all seems so interesting after researching the work by Norbert Rosing using his R9 and the S2.

I have to wonder how anyone can do this kind of work as it must be demanding in every way.

Dang, hope I am not becoming a tree-hugging liberal...😛

It is really not too difficult to get photos of Polar bears. Just google "Churchill polar bears". Yes the polar ice cape is rapidly thinning and the North West Passage may become navigable year round in the not too distant future. Global warming? I don't know but when ice disappears that usually takes a temperature increase.

I find it interesting that Norbert uses the S2 (what a dream that would be) as well as the R9.

Anyone on RFF using the DMR with an R8 or R9?🙂
