Polar bears feeding at a garbage dump near the village of Belushya Guba, on the remote Russian northern Novaya Zemlya archipelago, a tightly controlled military area where a village declared a state of emergency in February after dozens of bears were seen entering homes and public buildings. Scientists say conflicts with ice-dependant polar bears will increase in the future due to Arctic ice melting and a rise of human presence in the areas.

Someone posted a photo like this a few weeks back, one of the bears had a straight up used needle in its arm. It was so bizarre and sad.
