A boar ( adult male ) weighs around , while a sow ( adult female ) is about half that size . Although it is the sister ___MASK31___ of the brown ___MASK7___ , it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche , with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures , for moving across snow , ice and open water , and for hunting seals , which make up most of its diet . Although most polar bears are born on land , they spend most of their time on the sea ice . Their scientific name means " maritime ___MASK7___ " and derives from this fact . Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice , often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present . Because of their dependence on the sea ice , polar bears are classified as marine mammals ; an alternative basis for classification as marine mammals is that they depend on the ocean as their main food source .

An ice ___MASK64___ ( also spelled icefield ) is an area less than of ice often found in the colder climates and higher altitudes of the world where there is sufficient precipitation . It is an extensive area of interconnected valley glaciers from which the higher peaks rise as nunataks . Ice fields are larger than alpine glaciers , smaller than ice sheets and similar in area to ice caps . The topography of ice fields is determined by the shape of the surrounding land forms , while ice caps have their own forms overriding underlying shapes . An ___MASK43___ or isle is any piece of sub - continental land that is surrounded by water . Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets , skerries , cays or keys . An ___MASK43___ in a river or a lake ___MASK43___ may be called an eyot or ait , and a small ___MASK43___ off the coast may be called a holm .

The ___MASK43___ is in area , making it the third largest in the Svalbard archipelago . The ___MASK43___ is named after Thomas Edge ( died 1624 ), an English merchant and whaler . It is seldom visited today . Trønderen is an ___MASK54___ in Brækmoholmane , part of Thousand Islands , an ___MASK43___ group south of Edgeøya . The ___MASK43___ is named after Trøndelag , Norway , the birthplace of Sivert Brækmo ( 1853  1930 ), a Norwegian sailor and fishermen who regularly visited Svalbard between 1876 and 1895 . Alkekongen is an ___MASK54___ in Brækmoholmane , part of Thousand Islands , an ___MASK43___ group south of Edgeøya . Its name is derived from the fact that thousands of little auks breed among the boulders of the ___MASK43___ . ___MASK70___ Brækmoholmen is the largest ___MASK43___ in Brækmoholmane , part of Thousand Islands , an ___MASK43___ group south of Edgeøya .
