PIC BY GARY MORGAN / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: The polar bear make his back onto the thick ice.) These hilarious images show a polar bear hoping that the thin ice beneath him can BEAR his heavy load. Trying his best to avoid a freezing cold plunge, the regretful bear widened his stance and lowered his body weight in a desperate attempt not to fall through. The funny shots were taken in the Beaufort Sea, west of Canadas Arctic islands, by keen photographer Gary Morgan. Gary, who works for the Canadian Coast Guard on Canadas largest ice breaker, the Louis S. St. Laurent, said that the bear approached their ship while he and his team were redeploying a mooring.
