Collection: Taiga (Boreal Forest)

The Taiga, also known as the boreal forest, forms a vast green-and-white halo around the top of the world. Stretching across Canada, Alaska, Scandinavia, and Russia, this subarctic forest emerged as the last Ice Age glaciers retreated and has been sculpted ever since by cycles of fire, frost, and permafrost. A mosaic of conifer stands, peat bogs, frozen rivers, and granite outcrops, it is one of Earth’s last great continuous wildernesses, where distance is measured in days and the winter silence feels almost prehistoric.
