As many of you will already know, a group of young British explorers
was attacked by a polar bear in Svalbard this morning.

The thoughts of the UK Polar Network are with the families and friends
of the young explorers. As early career scientists passionate about
the polar regions, we all understand the drive of these young people
in exploring the Arctic, as well as the risks involved.
An email of support has been sent to the BSES Community on behalf of
the whole UK Polar Network. We offer our deepest sympathy and support
at this difficult time.
With best wishes,
