Osobom, które myślą o odwiedzeniu #Polesia, przypominamy, że w tutejszym powietrzu jest tylko niecałe 21% tlenu, a za to prawie 1% argonu. Uważajcie na siebie.

Nature fights back. This fish pond is still operational, but even larger ponds nearby have become part of a national park and it's almost impossible to discern their anthropogenic origin.

We stumbled upon a monument of a dog on our walk through wetland meadows and forests today. She must have been famous for something, but we don't know what.

A small ditch in the #wetlands. Now trying to confirm what I heard – that this used to be a small river, Mietułka, which formed the border between Poland and Lithuania a couple of centuries ago. Now just a ditch.
