A tourist visiting Svalbard in Norway's Arctic during the solar eclipse has been mauled by a polar bear, said police.
The Czech man, who has not been identified, suffered minor injuries when a bear attacked the tent he was sleeping in on the remote archipelago.
Some 3,000 polar bears live in the region, outnumbering the 2,500 inhabitants.

The camp was attacked by a family group of bears.
