Welcome back to Scary Bear Attacks!
Today’s episode takes us to the frozen north, to the icy island of Svalbard in Norway.
On this Island, there are peaks that stretch into the clouds and glaciers speckle the land even in summer.
There is no tall tree or shrubs that grow on the ground, but lichens decorate the rocks above 1100 feet in elevation.
There are sea birds like the Kittawake, Little Auk, and the Black Guillemot that feed in the seas but nest and rest on the rocky shoreline and cliffs.
Land animals include the Arctic Fox, Reindeer, and Polar Bears.
It is in this bleak and difficult environment that our episode takes place.
