Kamchatka – Real Wilderness.

April 23,2009 by Vance Martin

Kamchatka is real wilderness. This peninsula hangs into the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean off the very eastern end of Russia. It is home to the world’s highest diversity of salmon with huge runs up wild rivers; large populations of brown bear; traditional reindeer-herding cultures; Krontosky Nature Reserve and its Valley of Geysers (a World Heritage Area); and much more. Famed conservation photographers – Igor Shpelinok, Russia, and Patricio Robles Gil, Mexico (and with nature writer Laura Williams) – teamed up to produce a spectacularly beautiful little book about Kamchatka, a place they (and many of us) love. In addition to containing wonderful images and a heart-warming text, the book is packaged in a great little hardcover gift box.

I just had this little book in my hands a while ago. It is a wonderful portfolio that inspires your imagination about the Kamchatka Wilderness. The photography is superb, with no surprise with Patrico and Igor working together.
The whole portfolio is presented in a wonderfully packaged little book. It is like a little art jewel.
