The Altai region of southern Siberia is a place of geological wonders and rare biological diversity. The name Altai comes from the Mongolian word for 'gold' and 'mountains,' an apt moniker considering the ecological value of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Gold was also the colour of the trees and grasses during photographer Andrew Kudrin's visit in Autumn 2011, which resulted in these stunning photographs.
