Midshipman Horatio Nelson fighting a polar bear on a Polar expedition - stock illustration
When he was a young Midshipman, Horatio Nelson (later Lord Nelson) served on an expedition to try to find the North West Passage to the Pacific Ocean. During this attempt, Nelson and a companion set off to stalk a polar bear on the ice. His musket misfired and he was obliged to strike at the bear with the butt of his gun until they were separated by a fissure in the ice.
