Russia’s powerful nature has always fascinated people. The exclave Curonian Spit is the most western point of Russia and houses the oldest ornithologist research station in the world. In the far east, in Kamchatka, the Kurile Lake offers a paradise world for the biggest brown bears. High in the north, in Jamal, live the reindeer herds of the Nenets People. Climate change and gas exploitation change their icy world very fast. In the south, the land is limited by the mighty Caucasus. The primeval mountain forests of North Ossetia are an ideal living space for the biggest European cattle.
