In the photos that Dmitry took, we can see that the polar bears seem to be thriving. There are images of polar bears chilling on the grass, peeking out of home windows, and generally looking comfortable and at peace. Of course, for us, as well as for Dimitry and his traveling companion, this is an incredible sight. They covered over 1,200 miles of the coast in a sailboat, exploring the untouched area, and they will not soon forget what they saw.

the original destination they planned to go to to photograph polar bears - Wrangle Island - turned out to not have polar bears at all despite the area being famous for it. But, fate has decided to give them something even better, and definitely something much more unique and unexpected.

"Nature always sends you something when you least expect it," Kokh told My Modern Met. "When we passed through the Kolyuchin Island near the Northern coast of Chukotka, we saw some movements in the windows of the abandoned houses. And when we got close—those were bears! Never before they were seen in those buildings, so that was a once in a lifetime situation."
