Polar-oids
Sometimes, I'll find something that's just too cool not to share. In the case of this AP article, you can take "cool" literally.
This is the AP website, so I don't think there would be any issues with malware or whatever; it's about as legit as it gets. And you really do need to go to the link, because the photo options here are severely limited.
Polar bears that have taken over an abandoned polar research station off Russia’s far eastern coast were intimately captured in drone footage by Vadim Makhorov.
I'm going to go ahead and guess that Vadim Makhorov is Russian. Not just from the name, but because not many people would willingly get that close to apex carnivores, and all of them are Russian.
The photographer was filming the landscape of Kolyuchin Island during a cruise in the Chukchi Sea in September, when he noticed polar bears using one of the abandoned buildings as a shelter.
I like to think that the polar bears were continuing arctic research there.
The rest of the article is, of course, photos (with captions), so not much else to say here. Just go look at the damn bears. |
