4/9/2004: Polar bears interact with submarine

Those are some really neat pictures. I imagine the pictures were taken from the periscope. If that's the case, nobody ever popped a hatch open, and the bears never got the scent of a human. It's just a UFO to them.

I wonder if the bears cought the scent of a human. Does anyone know details about what subs do in this instance? I'm pretty sure I read that they manufacture their own fresh air, so they only surface to use the radio. And even then, they can receive low-frequency instructions while submerged.
