Rolf-Arne Ølberg is a vet working with the Norwegian Polar Institute , the body responsible for the monitoring of polar bears in Svalbard , an archipelago that lies between mainland Norway and the north pole.
Every year he and his colleagues track the bears by helicopter, collect blood, fat and hair samples and fit electronic tracking collars.
The aim of the annual monitoring programme is to understand more about the general biology of the bears.
