Wolverine at Viiksimo

Viiksimo, a remote village in Finland's Kainuu region near the Russian border, sits amid the unbroken taiga that defines this sparsely populated corner of the country. It's this vast forested wilderness that gives wolverines the space they need, making the area a rare and rewarding spot for photographers hoping to catch a glimpse of one. Visitors joining the Brown Bears of Finland holiday typically have their best chance of a sighting in July, when conditions in the taiga are most favourable for time in the hides.
