Teen stuck on ice shoots polar bear
Updated on 10 November 2009
A 17-year-old hunter who became stranded on a floating chunk of ice in the Canadian Arctic was forced to shoot and kill a polar bear before being rescued.
The teenager and his 67-year-old uncle, who were hunting, were reported missing late on Saturday, Ed Zebedee, director of the Government of Nunavut's protection services branch, said.
The snowmobile the pair were riding broke down about 11 miles (17 kilometres) from Coral Harbour, a tiny community on Nunavut's Southampton Island in the northern part of Hudson Bay in Canada's Arctic.
