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.

You hungry? Because I am...

Oh my gosh...everything about this photo is appealing. I love it!

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.

You could say the same of people.

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

Last time I sat on someone's head their jaw was certainty able to move.

PTSD/flashback of Movie ANNIHILATION, bear/house scene....

[–] TheLobotomist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've never seen it, do you recommend it?

[–] Blademax@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Personally, it's sci-fi that is twisted and disturbing. Like if Arrival/Interstellar gone WTF direction...

Not sure if that's a genre that peaks your interests.

A WTF Interstellar? Hold my popocorns

[–] Blademax@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago
