This is the moment a group of terrified kayakers had a very close encounter with a family of hungry polar bears after the creatures invaded their camp in search of food.
The video, which was filmed in Spitsbergen, in Norway, shows a mother and her cubs wandering around the camp, hunting through bags in an attempt to find a morsel to eat.
The kayakers first realised they had visitors when they spotted huge paw prints in a mud track close to where they were staying.
After following the tracks, they found the three bears raiding their possessions, spending an hour carefully searching for anything they could snack on.
