Gallery --> Russian wilderness


Smoking volcanoes, endless coniferous forests, deep lakes, grass green tundra, high mountains and barren steppes; Russia has everything, and most of it is in a large scale. Add to this, wild animals such as fierce wolves, big bears and Siberian tigers. It is not without reason that numerous people interested in untouched nature visit the Russian wilderness every year.
