Polar explorers

Photographs of nature taking over abandoned buildings are everywhere online, but few can be quite as striking as those taken by Dmitry Kokh in the most easterly part of the Russian Arctic in September. In this case, it's not plants that have begun to colonise a former meteorological station but polar bears.

Kokh's pictures are sufficiently surreal to make you do a double take (it's like a warped inversion of the story of Goldilocks), but they're genuine - and one even claimed a prize in a National Geographic competition.
