They struggle on, hungry and cold to the top of Great Bear Ridge where they see the polar bears at last.

Climate change is challenging for all animals in the North Pole. Oregon is a very brave, maybe a little crazy, polar bear who decides to leave his homeland and go across the world in search of a better life. His travels will take him through different countries and different cultures until he reaches his final destination: the South Pole. This is a story about one's struggle to adapt to a new habitat and life. It's also a message about how outside changes can make us push our boundaries and overcome our fears. One day, we may all be bipolar bears.
