New Year tree of the Sakhalin region: garlands of scales and sea oddities
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.
Here is one of the largest rookeries of Red List seals and Steller sea lions in the world and one of the largest bird markets. Every year up to 600 thousand of these birds fly here.
Craftsmen from Sakhalin also made pendants and icicles in a shape of an elongated island, which is decorated with seashells and painted with acrylic paints.
On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by New Year fir trees, each representing a region of the country.
