Arctic Research Group Svalbard 1993
This was one stage in a project to develop a system of Continuous Auto- matic Monitoring of Mountain And Reticulated Glaciers (CAMMARG). Eventually it should be possible to use the system in the Greater Ranges, but in the meantime the ARG is proving it in the Paulabreen-Bakaninbreen glacier of Spitsbergen. Whilst on the glacier, the team was attacked by a polar bear, which was eventually shot at a range of 1 metre.
