This film follows extreme wildlife sculptor Mark Coreth on a mission to capture the essence of the Arctic. 'Ice Bear' follows him as he sets off across the fast-disappearing sea ice of the Canadian Arctic in search of the elusive polar bear. Base on this research trip, Mark conceives a sculpture that encapsulates the dangers of global warming in a deeply thought provoking public exhibition. A full size bronze Polar Bear skeleton, surrounded by 10 Tonnes of ice, carved in to the shape of a hunting bear in front of the viewing public.  This ice sculpture is then left to melt and what emerges is the bronze skeleton, a pool of water and a very powerful environmental message.
