Polar desert biome

Devon Island lies in a polar desert biome with icecaps and tundra. Its Mars-like environment has been used by research institutes to simulate the challenges of living and working on that planet. A distant polar bear crosses the gravel plains and bedrock near the coast of Stratton Inlet while waiting for freeze-up in Lancaster Sound to hunt offshore.
