Polar bears in southern part Alaska to photograph?

Just to clarify, can polar bears be found in Southern part of Alaska?   I'm heading up there in 7 weeks.  

Trying to plan for what wildlife I might see there.

I don't think so, they are usually found up in the north, near arctic coasts.....


Why so serious?

I'm actually pretty surprised you can see them in the center there.  That looks pretty further south than expected.  Aren't they mostly up Greenland and Arctic too?

Only bears you'll find in Southern Alaska are going to be black bears in the wild or polar bears who are captive in zoo's.

Interesting, didn't know that Penguins are southern hemisphere only and polar bears are only in the northern?

How aggressive are polar bears vs other black and brown bears?
