Far East
The Far East is the most remote area in Russia, closer to Alaska, than to Moscow. Only a few people went to Kamchatka peninsula, but those who did, came back mesmerized. The land of volcanoes, geysers, beautiful view, the ocean, the nature unfolding itself in front of one’s eyes is very seducing. Kamchatka was closed for a long time for the travelers, and remoteness of the area
was a great obstacle too. Now it is still a very militarized place (there’s a border with the US), and the main town - Petropavlovsk - is a typical Soviet concrete and dull place, but just a just few kilometers away there’s the untouched volcano land stretching far north.
