Explore the eastern most reaches of the Russian wilderness and join in the hunt for the world’s largest (and possibly rarest) owl species, the Blakiston’s fish owl. These massive birds inhabit only the wildest places, feasting on salmon and trading eerie calls across the snow-covered landscape. Slaght makes you feel like you’re part of the expedition, experiencing their disappointments, reveling in their triumphs, and trying to stay upright after the endless obligatory imbibing of vodka to gain the trust of the locals.
