https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1071530/russian-submarine-polar-bear-rubbish-artic-foodThe sub was put into lockdown while crew waited for the 65st bear to lose interest in the vessel. The Delta IV class sub is believed to have been patrolling north of the Norwegian islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen when it surfaced through thick ice to dump bags of rubbish. Its crew had no idea that they had been spotted by a polar bear which pawed its way on to the sub's casing deck as it searched for more bags of rubbish, while the vessel's 120 sailors were ordered to remain below decks.

That's pretty disgusting. No wonder our oceans are full of trash.
