Fox backs the polar bears / News in brief / The Foreigner

Fox backs the polar bears. US channel Fox News recommends Svalbard Islands as one of the best cruise destinations. In its latest travel report, the broadcaster says caviar and champagne-consuming cruise-lovers with a sense of adventure (Editor’s note: outside the Jacuzzi) should take Silversea’s Silver Explorer to see the bears “aboard one of the nicest expedition vessels in the world.” In what NRK describes as “the American journalist choosing to spice things up with a little drama when selling Svalbard to his countrymen”, however, Fox News’ reporter warns, “They might look cuddly, but given a chance, a polar bear will eat you. For Svalbard's 2,400 residents, it is illegal to walk outside any human settlement without a rifle.”
