What is Alaska? Where is the Russian Far East? Why are these two regions so inextricably linked yet so very different from each other? To the uninitiated, Alaska is Gold Rush and glaciers. To the experienced, the Russian Far East is the ultimate final frontier. To the lover of pure wildness, both regions are rife with endemic wildlife. To all, the regions conjure up images of exploration, big dreams, astonishing landscape and adventure in abundance. It is impossible to understand the magnitude of Alaska & the Russian Far East prior to visiting. The Russian Far East’s brief summer thaw means crossing the North East and North West passages is finally a possibility. Head on into Alaska and its vast plains encircled by the midnight sun, and your most adventurous voyage is yours for the taking. Simply put, this is one of the most undiscovered and wonderful places in the world. From climate to culture to local customs, Alaska & the Russian Far East is so much more than a state. It’s a state of mind.
Alaska & the Russian Far East are truly Mother Nature’s playgrounds. These lands are fertile grounds for human authenticity, while the icy waters thrive with wildlife. Get up close and personal with orcas, search for brown bears and get lost (and found!) in the immense Alaskan wilderness. With so much on offer, never before has the region been so inviting, invigorating or accessible.
