Drone footage has revealed a group of polar bears residing in an abandoned research station on Kolyuchin Island, Russia. The video was shared by travel blogger Vadim Makhorov and depicts several bears within the dilapidated structure, moving around the building and exploring the surroundings. Notably, one bear was observed attempting to catch the drone as it flew nearby.
The Kolyuchin weather station has been uninhabited since the early 1990s, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. During this time, the site has become increasingly reclaimed by nature, potentially affecting local wildlife and their habitats. The presence of polar bears in the area raises questions about how the animals are adapting to human-made structures and the significance of their behavior in relation to the environment.
