    A female skier was mauled by a polar bear after the animal dragged her from her tent in the middle of the night in the Canadian Arctic. 

    The unnamed woman had been camping at Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island when she was attacked last month. 

    Other visitors sleeping in tents close by came to her assistance after hearing her screams.

    One individual directly intervened and stopped the attack, according to local media, and administered first aid on the woman. 

    She was then transported to the Summit Lake emergency shelter in the Akshayuk Pass before being taken by snow machine to the nearby community of Pangnirtung.

    The victim was released following a medical examination, but details regarding the severity of her injuries remain unclear. 

    The polar bear was identified as a young female with a broken jaw. 

    The animal’s injury would have affected its ability to hunt, likely contributing to its aggressive behaviour, Explorers Web reported. 

    Parks Canada killed the polar bear after considering the animal a continued threat.

    The animal’s carcass was given to local hunters, who used its parts for clothing and food. 

     A similar incident in the Arctic also took place last month, after a lumbering polar bear was seen charging after a man. 

    A harrowing clip from the island of Svalbard shows the moment one brazen creature chased after a Russian mining manager, who can be heard shouting ‘No! Go away!’ at the nearing bear.

    The bear was seen just feet away from the lucky Russian as a snowmobile came to his dramatic rescue. 

    While bears are not active predators of humans, they will attack if especially hungry or threatened.

    Only last year, two polar bears killed a worker at a remote Arctic radar station in Canada’s Nunavut territory.
