The Melting Sea is the bear term for Hudson Bay. It is where Kallik and Taqqiq were born.

During the winter, it is frozen over and the polar bears live on it, while in the summer the bears leave it and live on land until it freezes again. It has been melting earlier and earlier every year due to humans making the sea warm up, causing the ice to melt. Orcas and seals also live in the sea.

Polar bears are the only kind of bear to live there, as other bears are not capable of surviving in such cold climates.

Places

• The Ice: The Melting Sea is renowned for it's ice. The Polar bears live there in Snow-sky, and hunt seals there, while orcas hunt for the bears there, too. All of the bears mentioned below (in Known Bears at The Melting Sea) have been on the ice, except Purnaq, though he probably was.
• The Land: The land is where the polar bears go during burn-sky when the ice melts. It is fresh with berries and trees. Kallik, Nisa, Akna,Iluq and Kassuq have been here.
• The Burn-Sky Gathering Place: The bears gather here during burn-sky. There is no fighting during this time. Kallik, Taqqiq and Purnaq are noted to have gone here.
• The No-Claw's Place: No-claws live here, and bears will hunt for their meat and the metal bins. Kallik and Purnaq went here.
• The No-Claw Rescue Center: No-claws take sick, injured and starving bears here and put them in cages. They later put them in metal birds and set them free once they can be sure they will survive. As of The Melting Sea, it burned down. However, they may rebuild it. Kallik, Shila and Nanuk are the only named bears there, though there are many more bears.
