Discover four of Russia’s unique nature spots 🎒
These incredible places will delight any adventurer, whether beginner or pro – add them to your travel bucket list!
🦩 Volga Delta
📍 Astrakhan Oblast
Lotus, cacti, pelicans, flamingos… This is the flora and fauna of the Volga Delta, the largest river delta in Europe where Volga flows into the Caspian Sea.
The area’s biodiversity has a few origins: flamingos and pelicans stop here during their migratory routes, cacti were introduced by researchers, and it is believed that lotuses have been present since pre-Ice Age times!
🪨 Manpupuner rock formations
📍 Komi Republic
How did these seven massive stone pillars end up in the middle of a plateau? Geologists theorize that these are the only remnants of a mountain range gradually eroded by wind, rain, and other natural forces.
The Manpupuner rock formations have become rather popular with tourists – despite being quite challenging to reach. Popular hiking routes start from Sverdlovsk Oblast and Perm and take several days, as well as changes of transport.
🧊 Lake Baikal
📍 Irkutsk Oblast & Republic of Buryatia
This rift lake has collected many superlatives: deepest (1,642 m) and oldest (25-30 million years) in the world, second-largest in Eurasia, and world’s largest freshwater lake. Its unique ecosystem, including the tiny crustaceans Epischurella baikalensis, is responsible for the water’s famous clearness. Combined with stunning mountain landscapes and the never-ending blue of the lake’s surface, this area is one of the most coveted travel destinations in the country.
🦭 Commander Islands
📍 Kamchatka Krai
To the east of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Bering Sea, there lies a group of islands discovered in the 18th century by Commander Vitus Bering. Sparsely inhabited by humans, the islands are pretty much a natural reserve – they are home to countless species of birds and sea mammals, including northern fur seals and Steller sea lions, as well as sea otters, larga seals, and many whale species. The winds and marine climate gave the islands their forest-less, moss-dominated landscape, with surreal-looking green hills towering over the water.

I hope to work on reducing post-harvest food loss and improving the nutritional quality of processed foods. In many developing countries, food safety and malnutrition are still critical issues. Through food biotech research, I want to develop affordable, fortified food solutions tailored to local needs.

Fresh week, fresh science from ITMO. Here’s what’s buzzing 🐝
🔬 PhD students from ITMO have built a computer vision tool that counts microalgae cells in 30 seconds and can be run on an ordinary PC.
🕸 Scientists at ITMO have supercharged spider silk with magnetic nanoparticles, making it stronger and fit for future soft robots or flexible electronics.
🤖 ITMO grad Alan Gazzaev went from a student startup to creating a compact Russian-language AI for MTS with 35k+ downloads – and scored a national award for it.
And from your feed this week 📲
