My parents flew up to the tundra in the great frozen north as tourists one year. Their pilot landed the plane, they went walking—then had to run back to the plane as a polar bear was spotted far in the distance. Before they could take off, the bear very nearly caught the plane.

Those bleeping things are aggressive, and if the ice floes melt, they’ll just live elsewhere and eat other warm blooded creatures, including humans. They are, afaik, in no danger of a) starving or b) drowning.

Imagine they were quite fortunate to spot a polar
bear off in the distance,pretty good cammo they have
for that country

Read once of those tours in those Snow Cats where
they weren`t allowed out as there could be a bear
rise up out the snow

nothing like living through a near death experience
