2:02Now PlayingWhile enroute to the North Pole, a Russian photographer captured this otherworldly scene — a necropolis of scattered whale bones. In stunning drone footage, Vadim Makhorov weaved his drone in and out of the assemblage of bleached ivory.
The cemetery, in Russia’s remote region of Yanrakynnot, is one of several whale graveyards in the region. One of the most well known sites to spot the ocean mammal’s bones is the mysterious area known as Whale Bone Alley, in the remote Russian region of Chukotka on Yttygran Island.
