"Piers where the vessels to stand, is a lot of, including Petropavlovskaya.
Such condition that considering of space, its depth, natural strengthening
and covering from all winds are difficult for find anything similar in the whole world."
S.P. Krasheninnikov "The description of Kamchatka land", 1755
It is now difficult to imagine what has appeared before Semen Krasheninnikov's eyes
300 years ago, and what difficulties he and other Russian explorers went through.
Everything was dissolved one in other, has intertwined, lost in time.
The modern has covered the past, and then this modern will also be covered
with something yet unknown to us.
