Bye Polar
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
Russian scientists have driven away polar bears that besieged their weather station on an island in the Arctic Ocean for two weeks. After five scientists based at the weather station on Troynoy island, in the Kara Sea north of Siberia, were encircled by 10 adult bears and some cubs, a nearby ship was able to reach the island and supply the scientists with dogs and flares to scare off the bears. Anthony and Jeff discuss the predicament and wonder what they might do faced with the same challenge. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
