Russian Arctic

Russian Arctic

The eastern seaboard of Russia dominates the North Pacific yet is so remote very few ever visit it. This isolation has protected one of its most valuable assets - a vast wilderness inhabited by Kamchatka Brown bears, Red fox, Sea otters, whales and an astonishing array of birds.  The isolated and pristine Wrangel Island, untouched by glaciers during the last ice age, is a treasure trove of Arctic biodiversity and is perhaps best known for the multitude of Polar bears that breed here. 

From the breath-taking glaciers of Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land to the stark, secluded islands of the icy Kara Sea, the remarkable features of this isolated wilderness will leave you awed and inspired. From ice-capped peaks to historical sites to iconic Arctic wildlife, there’s no shortage of amazing adventures to be had in the Russian High Arctic.
