Wilderness without bounds, in a typical Russian style.
There is a place in the world so remote and so wildly beautiful, that very few decide to go there and those who do, carry the enchantment for the rest of their lives. A land of towering volcanoes and magnificent Pacific coastline, as boundless and pristine as theCanadian North , but far less known and definitely less traveled. Life is harsh there, and the ghosts of the communist past are never too far behind.
