Meteorologists performing Arctic research at a remote Russian location are currently being held captive by a group of polar bears.


At least 5 of the creatures have begun hanging out around the weather station. 


They are described as being hungry and aggressive.


The workers are poorly equipped to handle the situation and have asked the Russian government for assistance.


At this time, the only means the crew has of scaring off the bears are flare guns, rubber bullets, and basic tools. 


None have proven useful.
