From the article:

"The five researchers charged with staffing the outpost on Troynoy Island say that there are about 10 adult polar bears as well as cubs circling their base. A female polar bear spends nights perched outside the station's windows, making it dangerous for the scientists to exit. They have reportedly run out of flares and have lost at least one of their dogs to the arctic beasts."

And I thought being chased by one bear during the challenge was tough!

Weather Base to Arctic Control, we are surrounded by bears. Situation grim. Send canines, flares, and vodka.

"Send large helicopter...we'll come back for the supplies later."
