| Hugging the northeastern coast of Avacha Bay and rimmed by snowcapped volcanoes reflecting in the bay's glistening waters, views from Petropavlovsk were marred by crumbling Soviet-era buildings, unsightly jumbles of metal car garages, and scruffy greenways filled with trash in summer and edged with blackened snowbanks in winter. A modern city of more than 300,000 people (roughly three-fourths the total population of Kamchatka), the port of Petropavlovsk sits on magnificent Avacha Bay, surrounded by majestic cliffs, black-sand beaches, craggy peaks and no less than four snow-capped volcanoes. |
