On this special Chukotka expedition we will meet the locals.
We will also have an opportunity to see and hear their stories and experience their love for, and strong connection with, the land and the sea.

The vast majority of people in the world won’t even know where it is, let alone know much about it.
It is one of 83 regions which make up the Russian Federation, and is officially known as the Chukotka Autonomous Region. It covers a vast area of North East Russia the size of England and France combined, and slightly larger than the state of Texas, yet is home to less than 50,000 people, the majority of which live in the towns. The indigenous people include Chukchi, Inuit, Even, Koryak, Chuvan and Yukaghir. The non-native inhabitants are predominately Russian. The Chukotka region was the last part of Siberia to be ‘conquered’ or ‘subdued’ by the Cossack invaders from the west. The Chukchi people resisted fiercely, only succumbing in the late 19th Century.
On this special Chukotka expedition we will meet the locals; we will have an opportunity to see and hear their stories and experience their love for, and strong connection with, the land and the sea. We also hope to celebrate with them at their annual Regatta and Festival. We will explore the vast expansive tundra with its wild flowers and dwarf tree species and we will watch for brown bears, reindeer, Arctic Foxes, ground squirrels and, if we are lucky, we may also see a Wolverine. We will explore Wrangel Island with its Polar Bears, walrus and rich Arctic history, while at sea we will be looking for whales.
