POLAR BEARS ASSUME ANTARCTICA PEACEKEEPING MISSION
Deployment to Maintain Peace Between Leopard Seals, Penguins; Implement Tierra Del Fuego Accords
Antarctica, 12 February, 2007 (PP*) – A company assigned to Polar Command arrived in Antarctica today for a peacekeeping mission that will see them monitoring implementation of the recent Tierra Del Fuego accords intended to halt the centuries-old conflict between leopard seals and penguins. The 130 bears of the Knud Rasmussen company, based in Greenland, splashed ashore yesterday from their LSI (Landing Ship, Iceberg) and immediately deployed to observation posts across the Antarctic.
