Collection: Taiga (Boreal Forest)

Stretching in a near-continuous band across Canada, Alaska, Scandinavia, and Russia, the Taiga (Boreal Forest) is the largest terrestrial forest on Earth, born from the slow retreat of the last Ice Age. Defined by long, subarctic winters, short luminous summers, and vast mosaics of conifer stands, peatlands, and frozen rivers, this biome holds an ancient stillness that has shaped cultures, wildlife, and climate for millennia.
