Russian Arctic & Kamchatka Expedition Cruises | Russia Far East (2019-2020)
In a land of over 100,000 rivers, spanning three separate oceans, Russia cruises provide their own unique perspective to exploring the country. With so many waterways and historic routes to discover, taking a cruise in Russia suits both the luxury traveller and the intrepid adventurer alike.
Imagine the romantic affair of a Russian river cruise, taking in the scenic rural townships along the mighty Volga River. Or hit the high seas, on an Arctic expedition-style voyage or along Russia's far east, exploring far-flung island outposts and oceans teeming with wildlife. Whether relaxed, luxury or adventure happens to float your boat, there's a Russian cruise to suit your style.
Beyond the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg lie an abundance of diverse wildlife and spectacular natural landscapes. Marvel at towering volcanoes, pristine tundras and a multitude of rare bird species as our expedition takes you across the Pacific Ocean to the Kuril Islands. Feel the isolation begin to sink in as you make your way across the icy, wildlife-rich Barents Sea to the Russian High Arctic, where polar bears, seals, walruses and the elusive bowhead whale can be spotted. For those with a knack for adventure, Wrangel Island will certainly deliver.
Just off the northeast coast of Siberia, get up close and personal with the wild denizens of the Arctic, virtually undisturbed by human interference, and in numbers that will simply astound you. Finally, tick off the ultimate bucket list experience of literally standing at the top of the world as you embark on a nuclear-powered icebreaker for a roundtrip voyage to the geographic North Pole, smashing through the frozen Arctic Ocean along the way.

The Startling Beauty of Yankicha Island in the Russian Far East
A geographical marvel of almost mythical beauty, Yankicha is a standout feature of the Kuril Islands.
At the island’s centre lies a vast caldera, accessible only at high tide, which is dotted with fumaroles and hot springs. In places, the surface water bubbles and gurgles, hinting to the island’s volcanic origin.
A dramatic weather system characterizes this alien destination, which seems to jut from the water, as if imagined.
Wildlife abounds here, but competes with the breathtaking scenery for the attention of visitors.
Yankicha Island is the type of place that retrains the senses.

Chukotka to Wrangel Island cruises in the Russian Arctic with Heritage Expeditions
A little known area with a massive wildlife experience, Russia's Wrangel Island is the polar bear denning capital of the world and a treasure trove of Arctic biodiversity. Explore our Wrangel Island expeditions on our website:
On a voyage from Chukotka to Wrangel Island, cruise along massive cliffs abounding with seabirds, visit isolated villages and hike across sweeping tundra landscapes. Whether you’re a birder, photographer, wildlife enthusiast, or simply an adventurous spirit, these expeditions offer an unparalleled wilderness experience.
Wrangel Island - The Island of Polar Bears
Wrangel Island, in the Arctic Ocean, is one of the most remote islands in Russia. This harsh landscape supports a surprisingly diverse ecosystem, including Arctic foxes, seals, walrus, musk oxen, lemmings, and many types of birds. But the most abundant species here is the polar bear. There are so many ravenous bears roaming on the island that the handful of cottages and cabins here for the temporary habitation of research scientists and rangers have metal spikes built into the windows to prevent bear attack. Warning signs posted on the door remind people to watch out for bears when venturing outside.
Wrangel Island has the highest density of polar bear dens in the entire Arctic region. The bears come here every summer when the ice melts, and stay on the island until winter and the start of the next freezing cycle. The bears also come here to give birth and raise cubs and prepare them for the next winter.
The island gained UNESCO World Nature Heritage Status in 2004. It is one of five UNESCO World Heritage Sites located inside the Arctic Circle and the only one which is listed for its marine values. Wrangel Island boasts the world’s largest population of Pacific walrus, with up to 100,000 animals congregating in the island’s rookeries, and the highest density of ancestral polar bear dens.
Wrangel Island has no permanent population, but 6 or 7 rangers reside here to carry out various tasks, such as ecological monitoring of the wildlife, maintenance of the field huts, and working with scientific groups, researchers, and tourist groups who visit the island.

Polar Bears of Wrangel Island
Join Heritage Expeditions this summer on an expedition cruise to Russia's Chukotka and Wrangel Island Nature Reserve, the best place to see Polar Bears and their cubs.
LEARN MORE:
Often called the “Polar Bear Maternity Ward for having the largest density of denning polar bears in the world, Wrangel Island averages between 350 to 400 dens each year. Enjoy viewing mother Polar Bears and cubs on the ice floes, island cliffs and over spectacular tundra landscapes on all of our Wrangel Island expeditions.
A must-see for explorers, Wrangel Island is home to an abundance of wildlife – Polar Bears, Walrus, Arctic foxes, Whales, large colonies of seabirds and seals. Located 140 kilometers north of Siberia and spanning 7,600-square-kilometers, Wrangel Island is accessible only by expedition cruise. Untouched by glaciers during the last Ice Age, this UNESCO World Heritage site looks much as they did in the Pleistocene epoch when Woolly Mammoths roamed.
Mountains dominate most of central and eastern Chukotka, providing a magnificent backdrop for our expeditions. This terrain provides an ideal environment to see wild bears and many marine mammals including various species of whales and Walrus. Chukotka is also home to several isolated villages with warm local hospitality.
At Heritage Expeditions, we have a long-standing relationship with the Russian Far East, having explored this remote region since 1993. Each day is an epic adventure of discovery: Watch rambling polar bear cubs and feeding whales from the vantage of your Zodiac. Cruise along massive cliffs abounding with seabirds, visit isolated villages and hike across sweeping tundra landscapes. Whether you’re a birder, photographer, wildlife enthusiast, or simply an adventurous spirit, these expeditions offer an unparalleled wilderness experience.

map of Russia [ карта россии ]
Russia (Russian: Россия, tr. Rossiya, pronounced [rɐˈsʲijə]), or the Russian Federation, is a country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across eleven time zones, and borders sixteen sovereign nations, the most of any country in the world. It is the ninth-most populous country, and the most populous country in Europe, with a population of 145.5 million. Moscow, the capital, is the largest city entirely within Europe; while Saint Petersburg is the country's second-largest city and cultural centre.
The East Slavs, ancestors of Belarusians, Russians, and Ukrainians, emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. The medieval state of Kievan Rus' arose in the 9th century. In 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, and among its principalities, the Grand Duchy of Moscow rose during the 15th century. By the 18th century, the duchy had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to evolve into the Russian Empire, the third-largest empire in history. Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian SFSR became the largest and principal constituent of the Soviet Union, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first human into space.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the newly independent Russian SFSR renamed itself the Russian Federation. In the aftermath of the constitutional crisis of 1993, a new constitution was adopted, and Russia has since been governed as a federal semi-presidential republic. Vladimir Putin has dominated Russia's political system since 2000
Russia is a potential superpower. It is ranked 52nd in the Human Development Index, with a universal healthcare system, and a free university education. Russia's economy is the world's eleventh-largest by nominal GDP and the sixth-largest by GDP (PPP). It is a recognized nuclear-weapons state, possessing the world's largest stockpile of nuclear weapons; with the second-most powerful military, and the fourth-highest military expenditure. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the world's largest, and it is among the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. It is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the G20, the SCO, the Council of Europe, BRICS, the APEC, the OSCE, the IIB and the WTO, as well as the leading member of the CIS, the CSTO, and the EAEU. Russia is also home to 30 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Moscow Moscow Rostov-na-Donu Rostov Oblast 1,120,000 Novosibirsk

The Ural Mountains, running north to south through the country's west, are rich in mineral resources, and form the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia.
Russia, as one of the world's only two countries bordering three oceans, has links with a great number of seas. Its major islands and archipelagos include Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, Severnaya Zemlya, the New Siberian Islands, Wrangel Island, the Kuril Islands, and Sakhalin. The Diomede Islands, administered by Russia and the United States, are just 3.8 km (2.4 mi) apart; and Kunashir Island of the Kuril Islands is merely 20 km (12.4 mi) from Hokkaido, Japan mapa de Rusia , Karte von Russland , 俄罗斯地图 , रूस का नक्शा , carte de la Russie , خريطة روسيا , ロシアの地図 , #russia #russiamap #rusiamapa
