The landscape of the Russian Far East is rugged and breathtaking, with many volcanoes looming in the landscape.
Steller’s sea eagles soar along the coastlines and rocky ledges of the Kamchatka Peninsula, hundreds of sea otters and pods of orcas and Minke whales cruise the sea, and Steller’s sea lions and northern fur seals crowd the shorelines. Basalt stacks rise from the ocean, tailor-made resting and nesting spots for unimaginable numbers of seabirds—northern fulmars, puffins, guillemots, black-legged kittiwakes and whiskered auklets among them.
