The Cape Bar

In Russia more than enough truly unique places. One of such Bar Cape in the Kuril Islands. This project of UNESCO — a unique geological formation in the form of solid stone ledge, rising on the beach.


Flows of volcanic rock formed a narrow 4 -, 5-and 6-year coal basalt columns, the so-called columnar separately. At the foot of the column walls in the mess are like sawn off the wood, sanded the bars. Aligned sea waves the coastal platform creates the illusion of a bridge, and preserved from destruction single posts similar to the remains of the broken fence. Surprisingly, this perfect composition made a accident of nature, it is impossible to believe that the columnar structure is formed flowing down there a long time ago by lava flows.


If you look at the "pavement" on top, you can see that breed at the same time is divided not only on the columnar individually, but also on the larger similar segments with smooth sides. Close to Columnar produces amazing and absolutely lasting impression. In the Kuril Islands all terrestrial magnetism and a sense of novelty dispense with the psyche of the tourist strange things, whereby everything is perceived only when viewing photos and videos after returning home.


But Columnar and here ahead of the rest in addition to delight within its basalt "cobblestones" the man clearly feels powerful and somewhat humiliating exposure of wild and unbridled nature.
