The 1,000kg female polar bear spent nearly 45 minutes trying to get to the cameraman.
Gordon Buchanan, who has filmed the world’s deadliest creatures for 20-years, described this as his scariest ever experience:
"A lot of people think that carnivores are intrinsically dangerous but most aren’t - there’s a minimal risk and attacks are the exception.
But polar bears are different - without a doubt she wanted me for lunch. She was so persistent, looking for a weak spot for almost 45 minutes."
Location: Svalbard (Arctic Norway)
