Russian Far East! This is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and dramatic parts on our planet. The landscape is the result from the Pacific plate subducting under the North American Plate, creating volcanic and geothermal activity.
The deep trenches, often not far from the coastline, secures perfect conditions for seabirds and cetaceans. We have the chance for some 14 species of Auks, the incredible Steller´s Sea Eagle and plenty of other, very range-limited birds.
