A team of British mountaineers had a nasty scare when a polar bear
attacked them in the Arctic destroying three of their five tents.
The group had just succeeded in climbing the highest mountain in
the Arctic, 3693-metre Gunnbjorns Fjeld and were recuperating when
the bear ripped its way into one of the tents.
The team managed to scare it off with rocket flares, by banging pans
and by making noise continuously for ten hours. Scary stuff. You can
