Two polar bears attack and kill worker at remote Canadian radar site

Two polar bears have attacked and killed a worker at a remote Canadian radar site.

The tragedy occurred last Thursday on Brevoort Island, Nunavut.

The employee worked for the Nasittuq Corporation, which confirmed the death in a statement.

The attack killed the worker, whose identity has not been publicly released, and one of the animals that had to be euthanized.

The incident is the second fatal polar bear attack since last year.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues affected by this loss,” the company said in a statement.

‘Nasittuq Corporation is providing support to the family of the deceased during this difficult time. In addition, we are providing counseling services to all employees who have been affected by this.

‘The safety and well-being of our employees is our highest priority and we are committed to creating a safe working environment.

“We are working closely with local authorities and regulators to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.”

The Arctic outpost where the horrors unfolded is one of dozens of sites in the North Warning System, which stretches 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) from Alaska to Canada.

The outposts form a network of surveillance stations against aircraft and missile attacks.

The tragedy occurred on August 8 on Brevoort Island, Nunavut and also resulted in the culling of one of the bears

Polar bear attacks on humans are rare, but have resulted in fatalities in the past.

Last year, a woman and her son were killed by one of the animals in Wales, Alaska.

The attack was the first fatal encounter with a polar bear in the state in 30 years

Polar bears live in Arctic areas such as Canada, Alaska, Russia, Greenland and Norway.
