Cruises from Atlasova
Atlasova Island is the northernmost island of the Kuril Islands in Russia. It is essentially the cone of a submarine volcano, Alaid, and protrudes above the sea of Okhostsk to a height of 2339 m. The island is currently uninhabited and has an off-shore cone formed during the 1933-34 eruption. Named after a 17th century Russian explorer, it is said by many to be more exquisitely shaped than Mount Fuji.
