Close to Longyear Town on Svalbard, a group of tourists was attacked by an irate polar bear
Personally, I would never walk there on my own, but only accompanied by knowledgeable local guides who know the body language of these animals.
Just like I wouldn't venture close to rivers with crocodiles without such local expertise.
It is, of course, very sad for the families involved here, but people should actually learn that polar bears are natural killing machines, and take sufficient precautions.
