some really great pics of polar bears just chilling on the porch, looking out the windows, lounging with the fam
Dmitry Kokh, a Russian underwater and wildlife photographer, has shared once-in-a-lifetime photos of polar bears that took over an island. The island in question is Kolyuchin Island, located in the Chukchi Sea. This remote part of the Russian arctic used to be home to a meteorological station, but humans have long since abandoned it. Now, though, polar bears call it home.
Kokh captured the polar bear photos in September of 2021. During that time, he says that he and his team traveled 1,200 miles along the coast to see Russia’s arctic. The area is mostly considered untouched, as it’s very hard to get to. Kokh’s original plan was to travel to Wrangle Island, where he hoped to find polar bears to take photos of. Wrangle Island is reportedly famous for its bears, but there weren’t any when Kokh and his team landed.

With disappointment in their bones, Kokh and his team haded over to Kolyuchin Island. As they were passing through the island, they saw movement in the windows of the abandoned houses. The movement turned out to be polar bears. Kokh told Modern Met that the bears have never been seen in the houses. That made this a once-in-a-lifetime situation. He and his team were able to capture multiple photographs of the polar bears, including some photos of them eating.
