polar bears and ski doos

alan chambers our guide photographed on this blog with gun has to carry a gun when we sally forth out of town on skis in case we get attacked by a polar bear its a big risk here, the other one is getting hit by people on skidoos which are really just snowy jet skis, some are driven sedately by groups and other really souped up ones hurtle past, it looks quite fun. Its pretty much the best way to get around here in Nybyen where we are staying on spitsbergen.
