MIR Corporation Travel's video: Koryak Songs Dances in Siberia s Wild Kamchatka

Siberia’s remote and volcano-studded Kamchatka Peninsula on Russia’s east coast (http://goo.gl/uwNGy3) is home to many indigenous peoples, including the semi-nomadic Koryaks – whose name means “of the reindeer.” Koryaks hunt and fish, and are best known as reindeer herders. Travelers on MIR’s tour, “Remote Russia: Yakutia & Kamchatka,"" (https://goo.gl/Xr4T7R) experience a Koryak folk performance that reflects their nature-focused way of life, such as imitating the sounds of seagulls and mammals. Once off-limits to foreigners during Soviet times, UNESCO-listed Kamchatka Peninsula is one of the world’s wildest natural settings – a must-see destination for intrepid travelers. MIR's tour also explores Yakutia, where more than 40% of the land sits above the Arctic Circle. This is the land of mammoths, diamonds, UNESCO-listed 650-feet-tall Lena Pillars, and Yakutsk – the world's largest city built on permafrost. * Read MIR's story by Jake Smith, "Pristine Kamchatka: Bears, Bubbling Geysers, and the Bystraya River:" https://goo.gl/K5Af6m * Read MIR’s story on Kamchatka’s volcanic "Ring of Fire:" https://goo.gl/VH4iXL * Learn more about MIR’s group tours and custom, private journeys to Russia, Siberia & the Russian Far East: https://goo.gl/rl8YVC ______________________ SUBSCRIBE: MIR's YouTube channel, MIRCorpTravel: http://goo.gl/I0zCIM ______________________ CONTACT: MIR Corporation – http://www.mircorp.com Destination Specialists since 1986 Small Group Tours • Rail Journeys by Private Train • Custom, Private Trips • Siberia & Western Russia • Central Asia & Silk Road • South Caucasus 1-800-424-7289 _____________________ CREDITS: Video and photo credits: MIR’s Jake Smith, using a Canon mirrorless camera; shot on Siberia's Kamchatka Peninsula in August 2016.
