Police have shot and killed a polar bear that came ashore in northwestern Iceland, the first sighting of a polar bear there since 2016. It might have hitched a ride from Greenland on a floating iceberg.

    The article, read the article.

      The article that says relocating it to Greenland was a non-starter?

      The article that says this?

      Greenland is an autonomous territory but also part of Denmark — refusing permission either on the grounds of concerns about disease, or because of the local population not being keen on a larger polar bear population on its glacier.

        Yes that part and the part about the bear being in the trash outside. Not an immediate threat.

          Again, please show me the map which shows how far away the bear was from a populated settlement.

            I’m guessing if you want a map you can find one online. The article says it was near a summer home.

              You’re making the claim, not me. It’s not my job to prove you’re not wrong, it’s yours. I know the article says it was near a summer home. I’m not sure why you think that’s relevant unless you think it was the only home in the area. In which case, show that.
