May signals the end of the long, dark winter in the Arctic circles. Polar bears emerge from their hibernation and begin to explore for food. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a baby polar bear stepping into the world for the very first time.
Temperatures may still be cooler, and polar ice may still be breaking up with limited access in some areas. But these cold temperatures can offer the most impressive icescapes, pristine snow and breathtaking scenery.
