Russia is the largest country in Europe, with vast wilderness areas. Two Wild Wonders missions covered the country. Russian photographer Igor Spilenok travelled to the Kalmykian steppe to document the steppe wildlife, including the demoiselle crane and the critically endangered Russian sub-species of saiga antelope. Tom Schandy (Norway) headed for the Caucasus, location
of Europe's highest mountain, Mount Elbrus (5642 metres), to photograph the high peaks, endemic plants and dense Nordmann fir forests.
