Polar bears take over abandoned weather station !

Scientists left a Russian weather station in the Arctic three decades ago, and nature has since regained its place. Photographer Dmitry Kokh’s lens sensitively captured the phenomenon: multiple polar bears that turned the abandoned facility into a home and amusement park.

The images, taken on Koliutchin Island, in the Chukotki Sea, show the traces left by human beings: destroyed buildings, aged by time. Between walls with peeling paint, exposed pieces of rotting wood and rusty metal objects scattered in the countryside , the imposing bears stand out and even seem to strike a pose.
