I Lived With 40 Bears For 3 Days To Capture These Images

ADVERTISEMENT

If you walk into the Finnish-Russian woods today, you’ll be in for a very big surprise.

This area – Ruhtinansalmi – has the highest concentration of brown bears in the European continent. As a wildlife photographer, I made it my mission to immerse myself into their habitat for 3 days and so I did.

Living in “Suicide Hide” – so called because the bears come within 30cm of you – for 3 days, I lived with over 40 bears during that time. It was the most life-changing experience of my life – I’ve never felt so small.

Your pictures are beautiful. I'm hoping you're being safe as we don't want another Timothy Treadwell situation.

These are amazing.. I'm sure the pictures do the actual scene no justice though. Live nature is so incredible.
