University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student Bob McNabb poses Thursday afternoon, June 11, 2009, in the Geophysical Institute. A month ago McNabb was studying a glacier on an island north of Norway when he was forced to shoot and kill a polar bear when it charged him. The research station was located on the island of Nordaustlandet in the Norwegian territory of Svalbard.
