Real Polar Bear Makes
Appearance at Polar Bear Dip
“The annual Newfoundland iceberg festival
welcomed a special visitor…After people
donned costumes for the polar bear dip…in the
community or Raleigh, a real polar bear
came ashore that evening in nearby St. Lunaire-
Gritquet on Newfoundland’s Great
Nothern Peninsula. Thresa Burden, who lives in
town, said that the healthy- looking bear
Wandered curiously near some sheds along the
shoreline. ‘It was creating quite the
attraction, I must say,’ said Burden, a tourism
& development officer with the town of St.
Anthony. Burden said the young bear was then
seen swimming towards an opening to the
Atlantic Ocean & has not been spotted again.
‘Polar bears arrive here every year,’ said
Burden. ‘But to see a bear in June is not
common.’”
