Cool Tidbit:
Russia’s Wrangel Island, a nature reserve under Unesco protection that is often called a polar bear maternity ward. The place is very inaccessible, which may be bad for tourists but is great for the animals. Wildlife Photographer, Dmitry Kokh travelled more than 1,200 miles around the coast of Chukotka in order to reach Russia's now deserted weather station on Wrangel Island.
Using a drone equipped with special low-noise propellers, the wildlife photographer, who spent two years planning for his expedition, was able to capture the animals who had since made the building their home without disturbing them.
