Astoundingly beautiful book on one of the most special wilderness and cultural areas on the planet – -Kamchatka. This peninsula hangs into the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean off the very eastern end of Russia. It is home to the world’s highest diversity of salmon with huge runs up wild rivers; large populations of brown bear; traditional reindeer-herding cultures; Krontosky Nature Reserve and its Valley of Geysers (a World Heritage Area); and much more. This gem of a book is 7.5 inches square, and comes to you slipped into its own attractive gift box. And, best of all, this book is co-produced by famed conservation photographers Igor Shpilenok, Russia, and Patricio Robles Gil, Mexico (and with nature writer Laura Williams). You’ll love it!
