Elus Arktika

The Holarctic region, encompassing the northern lands and the sea around the North Pole, forms a distinct biogeographical and ecological unit where disrupting the balance is far more dangerous than in temperate zones.

Do we possess enough knowledge about the Far North's nature to wisely harness its riches without disrupting ecological equilibrium? In search of an answer to this question, we delve into the lives of native inhabitants of the Arctic: polar bears, Arctic foxes, walruses, and reindeer. We learn about Arctic birds and their life in bird mountains, discuss wildlife conservation, and explore the stark beauty of the northern wilderness. This book was born during expeditions to Severnaya Zemlya, Franz Joseph Land, Taymyr, and Wrangel Island between 1974 and 1983.

Richly illustrated, this book offers engaging reading for all nature enthusiasts.
