Boat Horn Wakes Polar Bear, Pays Price | Wilmington News
A boat crew in Svalbard, Norway got a hefty $5,300 fine after blasting their horn and waking a sleeping polar bear — a violation of strict wildlife protection laws. Polar bears are treated like VIPs there, with enforced distances (up to 1,640 feet during vulnerable seasons) to prevent disturbance. The governor’s crackdown also reminded visitors that getting too close to animals — like a walrus earlier this year — can cost you big time. Nature’s rules? Respect them or pay the price.
