"Common denning areas (core areas) for polar bears are northern Greenland, Svalbard, the archipelagos north of the Soviet mainland, and the islands of northern Canada. In autumn, bears are often rafted on broken pack ice to suitable denning places. Some experienced individuals probably find denning areas by their ability to navigate within a region"--Abstract.
