    Bhutan: There is a place where nature and religion have combined to turn a tiny Buddhist kingdom into the world's last Shangri-La. Locked between Tibet and India, Bhutan is the jewel of the Himalayas. To the north, towering peaks rise to 25,000 feet. Alpine highlands fall to misty forests and mountain streams cut through gorges to warmer valleys and wide marshes. Landscapes finally descend to the jungles and grasslands of the southern plains. In Bhutan, respect for life endures, like the land itself. This image is from The Last Shangri-La.

    Lying in the far east of Russia is a wild and isolated realm that has been closed to outsiders for most of the last hundred years when a Soviet military base made this forbidden territory. But wildlife was left to flourish. Compelled by the instinct to reproduce, millions of salmon journey to Kamchatka every summer, making it a haven for the some 10,000 grizzly bears that inhabit this land. Northern fur seals, the arctic fox and Stellar’s sea eagle also call this harsh and beautiful terrain home. This image is from Land of 10.000 Grizzlies.
