A survey during 1977 found that the Gateshead Island area, Northwest Territories, had 9 confirmed and 10 suspected polar bear dens. The importance of the area for polar bear reproduction was confirmed during a survey in 1982 when 15 dens were found, 10 of which were identified as maternity dens. The area should be protected from human intrusion.Key words: polar bears (Ursus maritimus), denning, reproduction, Gateshead Island, Northwest Territories
