What the fuck happens there???

What the fuck happens there???

Casinos and oil

Gulags no people frozen shithole

I just googled it, besides a ghost town called Ushakovskoye, there is basically nothing on that island. The last inhabitant was killed by a Polar bear in 2003. It's also the last place on earth where mammoths survived. However the Russian Navy plans to establish a new base there.

Mammoths still exist?

Yea, nowadays they live in most of Russia and Mongolia

No but the last known population remained on that island until 4,000 years ago, whereas on other parts of the world mammoths disappeared between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago

...

Wow, that town looks cool to explore.

Hopefully the Russians that are trying to clone a mammoth aren't using their dna though

That frozen mammoth they found some years comes from another island called Maly Lyakhovsky Island

What the fuck.. it must have died very recently since its body is still fresh, is the government hiding something?

Arctic animals and scientists

Ever heard of ice?

>The last inhabitant was killed by a Polar bear in 2003.
>mfw I looked it up and it's true

Don't know if I'd want to use one from an island.

It's actually 40,000 years old, but well-preserved because of the ice

>american education everybody

Please stop making us look more retarded.

It's the best-preserved specimen ever found, if they really wanna clone mammoths they have to use this one. They even found blood and guts in it

Just noticed that it was 40 000 years old

...

I want to live there

Isolation from the rest of this shithole world for the rest of my life

People feel sorry for Kaliningrad oblast is far away from mainland

Is this the rural russia thread?
