Wild Russia – Season 2
Episodes
Kamchatka: Ring of Fire
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.
East of Eden
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.
Siberia's Frozen Heart
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.
The Hidden Kingdom
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.
