So we know that a polar bear made it there and Ben had a coat when he got there, So we can make a huge jump and say that the teleport station is located in the giant Dharma freezer where the polar bears live. While trying to leave, he was attacked by a polar bear who cut his right arm and scared him(teeth chattering) so thats why he missed his destination both chronologically and geographically.
This makes as much sense as anyother theory I have heard.
