In far eastern Russia lies the legendary Kamchatka Peninsula, a remote haven between the Sea of Okhotsk to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. From volcanoes to endless shorelines, most of Kamchatka is a pristine wilderness, rich with huge bears and plentiful salmon, preserved by its remoteness…perched on the edge of the world.

From Lake Baikal – the deepest lake in the world – to the Volga River and Caspian Sea, Russia's inland water is a treasure trove of biodiversity.

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.
