Renowned polar explorer Will Steger, leader of the GlobalWarming101 Ellesmere Island Expedition http://www.globalwarming101.com ), expected the Arctic to throw all it had at his team.
The Arctic delivered.
“Out here we often feel like we are completely alone and it was quite to Eric's surprise to turn around and see a polar bear following him only 10 meters behind,” expedition member Sarah McNair-Landry tells on GlobalWarming101.com “Once the bear lost interest in us and wandered away we were able to continue forward, but only for a couple km before we were stopped dead in our tracks. A dense rubble field of ice lay in front of us, with no easy way through. With our axes and shovels we were able to pave a path, but did have a slight interruption from whom we presume was the same bear as before.”
