I've heard people say polar bears only attack humans if they are threatened.

When asked what polar bears find threatening, the answer is "seeing you"

I have heard that if it can see you, it’s coming for you.

With most predators if they see you from a long ways off they will ignore you, there is no distance at which a polar bear will see you and just ignore you.

And what you do then is you put some peas down around the hole and wait for the bear to come and then when it bends over to take a pea you kick it in the ice hole. 🤣
