From English Russia: Arctic pollution

Desolate Wrangel Island, which is north of Siberia, is so remote that it was the last place on Earth where the woolly mammoth lived--it hung on there until 2000 BC.

Four thousand years later, the Soviet military came to Wrangel, and left a toxic mess. English Russia has some disturbing photographs, along with some uplifting images with owls, arctic foxes, and of course, polar bears.
