Far East. Unique Russia
29.99 €
In this book by renowned naturalist, PhD in biology, writer, and photographer Vladimir Gorbatovsky, readers are immersed in the wondrous world of the Far East—the most extensive and sparsely populated part of Russia, where pristine nature has been preserved in its pristine glory.
The author, a member of the Union of Russian Writers, the Union of Russian Photographers, and the Russian Geographical Society, combines scientific insight with artistic perception: the book's pages combine precise biological information with poetic sketches, while numerous original photographs allow you to see the region's unique landscapes and inhabitants in all their beauty.
What you'll find in the book: panoramic descriptions of key natural phenomena of global significance: from Klyuchevskoy Volcano (the tallest active volcano in Eurasia) to the Valley of Geysers (one of the five largest geyser fields on the planet); Captivating stories about wildlife: mass salmon spawning, Kamchatka bear hunting, kilometers-long rookeries of marine mammals (fur seals, Steller sea lions, seals); an excursion into the diversity of underwater worlds: giant crabs, sea urchins, stars, mollusks, octopuses; a portrait of the Ussuri taiga - a unique mixture of northern and southern plant species (cedars, firs, and spruces coexist with oaks, maples, ash trees, and vines); a story about rare landscapes: the Lena Delta (the second largest in the world), the northernmost Gmelin larch forest on Tit-Ary Island, the Lena Pillars - a grandiose rock formation on the Lena; impressions from trips to the thermal springs of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands, climbing volcanoes, and observing volcanic activity.
