The Time Out… trend direction explores the arctic, recent challenges to this vast remote land and one of the most popular animals that call this place home.Time Out… answers fundamental questions, such as what are the components of arctic environment and what is said to be the main cause of Arctic ice melt. It also defines winter ecology and provides fun facts about the physical attributes of the polar bear and why the Arctic Circle is important to its survival.
The Arctic is the area around the North Pole, including portions of Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and the Arctic Ocean. Animals living in the arctic are part of the winter ecology. Winter ecology explores natural habitats and occurrences of organisms in wintry environments.
The ice in the Arctic is rapidly melting. Ice melt in this region is said to be an indication of how quickly the earth is heating up because of human pollution. A recently published article called Arctic Sea Ice Just Hit a Record Low. Here’s Why It Matters, written by Brad Plumer states, “melt has been driven by global warm-ing and other pollutants.” Regardless of it cause, Arctic meltdown would disrupt the local ecosystem and have devastating effects on animals and organisms in this region.
Polar bears are one of the most known and vulnerable creatures of the Arctic. This stunning creature has thick translucent fur that reflects it surroundings, giv-ing off the appearance of white or tan. Polar bears are enormous creatures with a thick layer of blubber underneath their skin for insulation and buoyancy in water. Thick fur and blubber contribute to the polar bear’s 1500 pounds or more in body weight.
Although we typically see images of polar bears on land, they are mainly marine animals and spend most of their time swimming the Arctic Ocean in search of their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice. Its long and narrow skull aids in streamlining through the water, making the polar bear an efficient swim-mer in its natural habitat. Polar bears are facing greater challenges as a result of global warming.

The melting of polar ice caps has resulted in the ice shelf breaking into smaller pieces. The change in the Arctic icescape has limited food supply, forcing polar bears to swim greater more challenging distances for food. This is especially harmful to young polar bears that are not able to swim as far. Polar bears are swimming into new areas in search of food that are not typical to their diet and suffering as a result. The Melting of Polar Ice Cap is Harming the Polar Bears Sur-vival written by Alyssa Ast reports “threats in sea waters include sharks and killer whales.”
The Time Out… trend direction is uplifting and hopeful. This trend uses imagery to conjure up feelings of a pristine winter wonderland. Frosted white, arctic blues and radiant pink, purple and green create a story of a wintery paradise.
