There is a polar bear super close to our village! Here on Svalbard we have tons of polar bears, as you know, that is why e.g I have to bring a firearm when walking my dog. So what happens when one gets close to our town Longyearbyen where there are people, and kids? I hope you enjoy this video, and as always thank you so much for being here!
