Kamchatka, a remote heaven for wildlife in far eastern Russia where animals try to survive to the deep freeze in this pristine wilderness.
Russia's Lake Baikal, and the Eastern delta on the Caspian Sea are a treasure trove for biodiversity, and strange enigmatic creatures.
From icy coastal tundra in the Arctic Circle to treeless grass steppe in the south, Siberia is home to ancient forests and the world’s deepest lake. Known as the ‘sleeping land,’ much of Siberia is encased in ice and snow for most of the year. Animals here must adapt to survive and thrive, or perish in this frozen land.
In far eastern Russia, mountainous boreal taiga in the north meets temperate rainforests in the south. Stretching over two million square miles, it’s a vast region about twice the size of India. An unfathomable expanse of forest intersected by clean rivers, this is Russia’s richest diversity hotspot. Here species find their last refuge in a wild place like no other.
