A person has been fined $9000 for sounding a foghorn that woke a slumbering polar bear in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, and Arctic island group that sits roughly halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole.

When the ship sailed past the animal, its occupants spotted a polar bear sleeping on land. A person on board then used the ship's foghorn, waking the animal, which moved to another location.

Environmental protection laws in Svalbard state that it is prohibited to "unnecessarily disturb, lure or pursue polar bears," a species protected by international law since 1973.

Bears resting in the summer season have fewer food sources because the sea ice where they can hunt seals melts in the summer. Bears often choose to wait out the lean times with very long naps and very little movement.

Disturbing bears during this time of year may impact their survival if it causes them to burn calories unnecessarily.


When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
