Аннотация: The Kurile (or Kuril) Islands are one of the last blankspot s on the world map, and their very remoteness results in a uniquely pristine environment. The biodiversity of the islands is remarkable, ranging from broad-leaved subtropical forests with magnolia, ligneous lianas, and Kurile bamboo in the south to subarctic moss tundra, alder shrubs, and stunted birches in the north. The landscapes are impressive, combining rocky capes, heavy fogs, surrealistic volcanic cones, boiling crater lakes, and almost impenetrable giant grasses. The Kurile Islands have often been compared to the nearby Aleutian Islands, and with good reason in terms of geology, remoteness, and notoriously bad weather.
