Cruises from Lovyshki Islands
The Lovyshki Islands (or, Lovushki Rocks) are part of the Kuril archipelago that stretches in an arc from the north of Japan to the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the NW Pacific. The islands consist of a few dozen rocks jutting from the sea, spread over about 3 sq.km. They are administered by Russia. The rocks are too small to be shown on most maps, and are certainly uninhabited by humans.
