Gift from Oil Companies
They were very generous this year. Presented these polar bear cubs with an oil containment boom in advance for this Christmas. It was really heart breaking to see these little guys playing and chewing on oil infested PVC material.

I see this as a submission for NB environmental issues division.
Sid - once the bears moved off would the locals remove the boom?
Images like this make you despair, you would not believe all of the rubbish on the beaches of Svalbard.
Point well made:(
It is sad to see the bears around all that garbage. Your images shows that very well.
Was this left from a recent spill or an old one? Looking at that surf in the background, I'm sure these booms were very effective!:(
