Summary
A passionate angler, Chris Tarrant's interest in bears was first triggered by sightings of grizzlies whilst fishing in the wilds of Canada. For years he harboured a plan to mount an expedition in search of their most ferocious cousins, polar… bears. They are to be found in greatest numbers in the extreme north of Norway, about 400 miles south of the pole, near Svalbard. This is a record of that trip, and a homage to the power and beauty of one of the most ferocious predators left on earth. 2005.
