Nikolai Maleshin's conversations

Я бы не рискнул снимать в такой близи!:)

beautiful family!!

Every protected area on Kamchatka has its own distinctive symbol, its own special pride: for Kronotsky Zapovednik, this is, of course, the Valley of the Geysers; for Nalychevo Park – thermal and healing mineral springs; for Klyuchevskoy Park – volcanoes and glaciers. South Kamchatka Zakaznik is famous, first and foremost, for a truly unique body of water – Kurilskoye Lake.

Kurilskoye Lake! How many scientists, photographers and television directors have aspired to come here, how many exceptional reports and broadcasts have been recorded, how many books and sketches written! Hundreds of people have visited and continue to visit Kurilskoye Lake each year, among them the legendary host of “The Travelers’ Club,” Yury Aleksandrovich Senkevich; the anchor of “In the World of Animals,” Nikolai Drozdov; the famous journalist Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov, popular actor A. Abdulov and many, many others. What makes this place so alluring? Decide yourself!

South Kamchatka State Nature Zakaznik, or wildlife refuge, was established on April 8, 1983, and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

Kurilskoye Lake is the symbol of South Kamchatka Zakaznik, and a number of superlatives can be used to describe this unique body of water. Kurilskoye Lake was formed 8,000 years ago at the site of an intense volcanic eruption. Today the lake represents Asia’s largest spawning grounds for sockeye salmon, one of the world’s most valuable species of fish. Each year 1.5 to 3 million spawners enter the lake, and in some years the number can reach 6 million – the population of a large city! Salmon, in turn, attract some of the world’s biggest – in both the literal and figurative sense – fish lovers – bears. Kurilskoye Lake is their kingdom! The shores of the lake and the immediate surrounding area are home to the largest concentration of brown bears on Kamchatka. The lake also boasts the world’s highest seasonal concentration of Stellar’s sea eagles. It is far easier to observe these striking predators here, in South Kamchatka Zakaznik, than in any other place on Kamchatka.
