Brown Bag, 12:15 PM
Land of 10,000 Grizzlies
Wednesday, 6/12/19
Naomi Lane
Lying in the far east of Russia is a
wild and isolated realm that has been
closed to outsiders for most of the
last hundred years when a Soviet
military base made this forbidden
territory. But wildlife was left to
flourish.
Compelled by the instinct to
reproduce, millions of salmon journey
to Kamchatka every summer, making it a
haven for the some 10,000 grizzly
bears that inhabit this land. Northern
fur seals, the arctic fox and
Stellar’s sea eagle also call this
harsh and beautiful terrain home.
Jutting from the far east of Siberia,
this icy mountainous peninsula is
covered in smoke, steam and fire from
volcanoes, geysers and hot springs.
Thanks to the courtesy of National
Geographic educational programming, we
discover many of the animals that call
this home. NG (45 min.)
Bring your lunch; the Library provides
coffee and cookies.
