Russia's Wild Sea

East of Moscow is a sea of mystery and contrast where liquid fire and frozen waters coexist. Take a bracing plunge into the Sea of Okhotsk and discover how its creatures battle to stay alive, thanks to their ingenious adaptations. From the fearsome hunting styles of the orca to the unique thousand-year relationship between nomadic reindeer and indigenous Koryaks, this is a yearlong examination of a world where only the toughest survive.

On the edge of Asia is a body of water that is home to one of the most vibrant ecosystems on Earth: the Sea of Okhotsk. With full, exclusive access to this untouched region, we examine life here during times of plenty, when millions of salmon, pollock, and herring fill the waters, attracting Steller’s sea eagles, gulls, bears, and humans. Explore deep waters that harbor big predators and coastal forests that offer an abundance of food for land predators.
