When wildlife photographer Dmitry Kokh took shelter from a storm on the Russian island of Kolyuchin, he found a group of around 20 polar bears had made themselves at home in an abandoned village.
from a storm at the Russian island of Kolyuchin in September 2021. It was too dangerous to walk on the island, so he took pictures of the station’s unusual residents using a camera drone fitted with low-noise propellers, so as not to disturb the bears too much.
According to Kokh, there were about 20 individuals in sight, most of them male. Kolyuchin, off the coast of eastern Russia in the Chukchi Sea, hasn’t been inhabited by people for decades. It is also surrounded by sea ice – polar bears’ primary habitat – for most of the year, giving the bears easy access to the island in time for summer, when sea ice wanes.
