This Polar Bear Attack Is Straight Out of a Horror Movie

Imagine camping in the Arctic and waking up to a polar bear tearing through your tent. That’s exactly what happened in Svalbard, Norway, where more polar bears live than people. In 2011, a malfunctioning safety system led to the deadliest polar bear attack ever recorded—one teen was killed and four others badly hurt. The scariest part? Climate change is pushing these hungry bears closer to humans. Svalbard is still a bucket-list spot, but wow, it’s not for the faint of heart! #Science #PolarBearAttack #Svalbard
