   ♲ @ls@diaspora.psyco.fr:Polar bears on an abandoned island
   
   Russian underwater and wildlife photographer Dmitry Kokh took a trip of a lifetime to an abandoned meteorological station on Kolyuchin Island. This small island, located in the Chukchi Sea, is in a remote area of the Russian arctic. While humans have long since left the area, Kokh discovered that there are other creatures making themselves comfortable. Polar bears have overtaken the station, turning the old buildings into cozy homes and, from the looks of it, thriving.

     @blipp @heluecht A very dangerous thing to do. Don't know if brave or reckless.

     @tagomago @heluecht In an interview the photographer said they used some "technology and magic", so maybe they used a drone -- I agree that it seems pretty dangerous for a person to go so close.
