The stage today is the coast of Shiretoko, a registered World Natural Heritage Site. A commanding landscape created by volcanic rocks spreads across the coast of Shiretoko. This unique ecosystem created by the symbiosis of land and sea is home to a wide variety of animals such as the Brown bear. Our host Charlotte Kate Fox participates in a tour on a small boat where she witnesses Brown bears hunting for Pink salmon swimming upstream. In addition, we will show you the "forest of dense kelp" where diverse creatures live, as well as the rare footage of the spawning of Pink salmon.
