The Komandorski Islands

The Commander Islands are among the most isolated of Russian territories. This small archipelago of 15 islands lies on the border of two parts of the world - Eurasia and America. It lies far from the major shipping routes and it's as if it has been lost among the endles aquatic expanses of the Pacific Ocean. On the Commanders, the warm currents of the southern seas collide with the icy waters of the Arctic, creating a «Kindom of Mists and Rain» - that's what travelers and scientists have dubbed this exceptionally beautiful and mysterious region, unlike any other. The Commander Islands are very hard to reach, but having spent just a couple of days here, you begin to realize that you don't want to leave at all. The nature is so beautiful here, the sounds so enchanting, the ocean washing the shores of the archipelago so mighty. Experience the magical attraction of the Commander Islands on Russian Travel Guide TV.
