At least 30 hungry bears have trapped a group of geologists at their remote survey site in Russia's far east after killing two of their co-workers last week.

The team of geologists on Russia's seismically active Kamchatka peninsula refused to leave their camp after the bears showed up, a spokesman for the region's emergency services ministry said.

He said: "In the interests of safety they didn't come out to work - the people are scared by the invasion of bears."

A bear killed two geologists at the worksite on July 18, officials said.

Authorities on Kamchatka, nine time zones east of Moscow on the Pacific Ocean, said this year was remarkable for either too many bears or not enough fish.

"Either way there is not enough food," the spokesman said.

Man those bears must be starved, no fish? No berries? Global warming? Bush's fault?

I figured them geologists had fuzzy little names for them, they must not have seen grizzly man or what ever that fools name was.

I doubt that RUSSIAN geologists suffer from the same symptoms of Bambiism like some of their collagues in the West...

Borat bought a bear for self defense.

Hey! Give the poor geologists a little sympathy. I'm a geologist. I suppose most of us would taste a little earthy or gritty kind of like a raw spud. Some are even oily to the taste. And never serve with Pinot Noir. A strong burgandy is preferable.
