Don't Take My Meal

I recently returned from spending several weeks in Norway and specifically Svalbard.  We circumnavigated the island and pushed our vessel into the ice pack to locate and photograph the polar bears.  Our most northern point was 81 degrees, 55 minutes and 14 seconds, well inside the Arctic Circle and only 500 miles from the North Pole.

They say a Polar bear can smell a meal up to a mile away.

They say a Polar bear can cover 1/2 a football field in 7 seconds.

The Polar bear is the ONLY mammal that will actively hunt a human!
