The Norwegian Polar Institute says that some bears based in Svalbard will follow the sea ice as it retreats north during the summer melting period to continue hunting, while others will remain on land waiting several months for the ice to return.
While the seals are their main source of prey, they are opportunistic hunters who will scavenge from whale carcasses, feed on nesting seabirds and their eggs, and even kill reindeer.

Guardian was quick to jump for "starving polar bear",they had to relate the incident to climate change.Wouln't surprise me if Guardian was in on the "expedition" it being a green climate change exercise.Sorry for the family but polar bears run faster thn humans,a failure of planning and Health and Safety.
