On our way to the Avachinsky Gulf we will cross the Avachinsky Bay which is one of the largest ice-free bays in the world. It may seem surprising, but just in several hundreds of meters from the coastline we will meet wild seabirds. When we are leaving the bay, we will see “Three Brothers” rocks known as a symbol of Kamchatka.
