Located in the Kuril Islands chain, this island is part of the Ushishir volcano, half of which is submerged underwater in the Pacific Ocean.
The indigenous people who once lived on the islands considered Yankicha Island a sanctuary, the home of the Thunder God, and the entire archipelago was known as the “Land of Good.”
Here, you’ll find pristine wilderness, untouched flora, and fauna. To get there, you would have to sail for about a week from the nearest port in Kamchatka.
