Photos of Kurill Islands: Rasshua Island

2014/11/02



A group of photographers continue to travel thru the Kurill islands – the group of islands that border with Japan and previously were Japanese territory. This one is a tiny Rasshua island however even on this tiny piece of land there are remains of Japanese roads, fortifications and awesome nature. Let’s see it?









This island is just 13 km long and 6 km wide. However it is a home of an active volcano with the same name – Rasshua. To land on these grounds one needs to be lucky as the weather conditions such as strong winds and tides can prevent you from doing this.



Lotsa sea weed on the shore. One has to put his boat on a distance from the shore as those sea weeds don’t let the boat pass, and then walk thru this brownish-green food of sea animals.



They say this island was a center point of an ancient trade of the tribes living here. Tribes of North Kurill islands has met here people of the South for trade and stuff.



This are the photos of those aborigines people made in their late times, they already have been affected much by Japanese (see the dresses) and Russian (see the beards) culture. But still have something common with Polynesian tribes, where they probably originate from.
