Polar bear attacks man
A POLAR bear has been killed after attacking a guard who was leading tourists off a cruise ship on an Arctic archipelago.
The polar bear was shot dead by another employee, the cruise company said.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination for Northern Norway tweeted that the attack occurred when the tourists from the MS Bremen cruise ship landed on the most northern island of the Svalbard archipelago, known for its remote terrain, glaciers, reindeer and polar bears.
The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening.
