An individual in the Svalbard archipelago of Norway's Arctic region has been issued a 50,000 kroner fine—approximately ₹5 lakh—for intentionally startling a polar bear that was asleep. The animal was seen resting on the shore in Lomfjorden when the ship's horn was sounded, causing it to wake up and relocate. Following reports from other passengers on the vessel, the person involved admitted to the act and paid the penalty for breaching environmental regulations.
