Who does not know Sakhalin caviar and seafood? These are the riches the region is famous for. The luxurious Sakhalin Island fir tree is presented in garlands of imitated fishing nets, which resemble gold and silver fish scales.

And of course, there are the main inhabitants of these lands - seals. The tiny spot in the Sea of Okhotsk, not far from Cape Patience, is called Seal Island.
