Wings of the White Cliffs

Wings of the White Cliffs
by Alexey Kharitonov


The White Cliffs are one of the most famous landmarks of the island, stretching out for miles alongside the shore of the Okhotsk Sea. They are made of a very light and soft pumice, as a result of the huge volcanic eruption. This pumice is being eroded by the storms, rains and numerous small rivers, which shape the rocks amazingly.
