92 Journeys In the kingdom of the polar bear The reindeers at Svalbard have smaller legs than the normal mainland reindeers and they are not afraid of people at all. Svalbard Islands have something that the mainland of Norway does not have and that´s polar bears. They are the biggest bears on this planet and the most dangerous predators, but they look so cute. I knew they were around, so the first day I was a bit afraid of walking around. I talked to the locals and they told me stories about the polar bears coming into town, but that was not something happening every day. When the bear comes to town We were kiting in Adventsdalen (close to town) and everyone told me that for sure there would not be any polar bears there. I had so much fun climbing the mountains, riding over the frozen water and jumping around. What a place! I forgot all about the polar bears and focused all on
the super cute reindeers and the amazing nature surrounding me. Two days later, a young hungry polar bear came into town. The local authorities tried to scare him away with a helicopter and snowmobile, but after several attempts, they had to shoot him with tranquilizer and fly him away to the other side of the island. I was a bit lucky not to meet him when I was out there kiting without a rifle. I went straight ahead to get a rifle so I could wear this when I went kiting. The polar bear came in just at the place I was kiting before so I found it safer to have one just in case another one decided to make a stop in town.

Two days later, a young hungry<br />
polar bear came into town. The<br />
local authorities tried to scare<br />
him away with a helicopter and<br />
snowmobile, but after several<br />
attempts, they had to shoot him<br />
with tranquilizer and fly him<br />
away to the other side of the<br />
island.<br />
I was a bit lucky not to meet<br />
him when I was out there kiting<br />
without a rifle. I went straight<br />

The polar bear came in just at<br />
the place I was kiting before so<br />
I found it safer to have one just<br />
