| Bering's Wake & the Spoon-billed Sandpiper |
Travel in the footsteps of 17th century explorers through a land that has been altered little since initial exploration. Occasional settlements and few roads dot a landscape where you’re more likely to see Steller’s sea eagle, walruses, northern sea lions, and brown bears. From the Kamchatka Peninsula to Chukotka your trip through one of the world’s last untamed wildernesses takes you past active volcanoes and through geothermal regions, vast forests, expansive tundra, and wild oceans.
Explore archeological sites and soak in the experience of the indigenous people. Immense jawbones and ribs of bowhead whales placed together in a stunning arch formation mark an ancient ceremonial site that begs further investigation. Russian Ural bus carries you over the tundra to the inland plains where you’ll interact with nomadic reindeer herders as they shepherd their animals. In a land where beauty abounds and vastness overwhelms you’ll find your heart stirred by a people far removed from political precedent and popular culture.
Join us as we follow Bering’s route immersing ourselves in Russian culture and environment!
