      The funny thing is that the North Pole is not even close to the coldest place on Earth. It's actually the South Pole or Antarctica, right on the opposite side of the globe. And even some towns in continental Russia get a lot colder than the Artic Circle. That's how climate works on our planet.

      Polar bears have been known to wander freely but hardly ever venture into town its not like theyre joining in with the residents ...there is a boundary where its kinda their territory..and residents do not enter ....children are still left outside to nap its still considered safe its just their way of life....residents do not have a shoot to kill licence they can fire a warning shot if their lives are in danger and wait for authorities to come assist in moving the bears on ..
