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.
