Welcome to Canada
The caption was "Isn't it comforting to know that when you are about to become a bear's breakfast your mate is standing there taking photos."

Offer himself up as a sacrificial distraction?

just so ya know..... a gun will work waaaaaaay better than a patio door. 8) (take it from a guy who sells patio doors)
Most of the time artic workers are equipped with sidearms (one of the few groups outside the security professions allowed to carry handguns in Canada) and whatever rifle or shotgun they think will help them. If I was the dude with the camera I'd get off my ass and find a firearm, which is what you are supposed to do in that situation (yes, greenheads, you are supposed to shoot it to stop from being eaten. So sorry you had to learn that horrible truth, but you can always sacrifice yourselves to the cute polar bears if you are in that situation)

havnt you see nthe coca cola commericals. Polar bears are cute and fun.
a human can turn a corner faster than a bear. Just wait it out till he gets bored. then hop in the car and run his ass over. Then make soap out of his lard and eat his flesh. grilled polar bear. YEA!
;D

That shit was funny as hell! [laugh]
Honestly I don't see why people are so in love with polar bears. They are the most dangerous predator on the earth and will happily tear a human limb from limb for a snack without hesitation. They make grizzlies look even-tempered. You see a polar bear, you either shoot it or get in a vehicle and go in the opposite direction pronto.
My brother's working in 'None of it' with small teams in the bush. Bear watch is critical and yes - firearm handy at all times. Fortunately - they haven't been tracked down by a bear.

They're the most dangerous because they are the hungriest. Have you ever seen the Arctic; there isn't shit to eat up there? Except penguins. :P

Reminds of the saltwater crocs that live in Australia... There's stories of them 'hunting' humans ~
