Arctic Wildlife Quest

In the far north of Russia is Franz Josef Land, one of the most remote and raw Arctic landscapes in the world. Discovered less than 150 years ago, you’ll venture to an icy realm that is home to the walrus, polar bear, seal, Arctic Fox and Beluga Whale. This is an archipelago visited by few people, where the foreboding landscapes of the islands are dotted with relics from famous explorers of the past.
