In September 2021 A Russian photographer (Dmitry Kokh) captured a fascinating series of photos showing polar bears that took over the abandoned buildings of a meteorological station on an island between Russia and Alaska. The island is located in the Chukchi Sea, a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean.

    I have to say the knowledge of how enormously lethal polar bears are does put a slight damper on this image for me. These things can kill you easy, and I would not want to be this close to one. Let alone two.

        Nah, If you sit on their head they won’t be able to open their jaws and bite you.
