New Arctic park
RUSSIA HAS created a four-million-hectare reserve on the Taymyr Peninsula in northern Siberia — the largest expanse of tundra in Eurasia. From July, only scientists will be allowed access. The park (more than three times the size of Fiordland National Park) is part of a network of reserves set up under an international Arctic treaty signed in 1989. It contains walrus, and the summer nesting grounds of plovers, brent geese and knots.
