The waters of the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean wash along the protected lands of the Commander Islands on the furthest edge of Russia. The remote archipelago is located between Eurasia and America and is a place where animals from both of the great and dissimilar continents coexist. The area’s pebbly, stony sea beaches are neighboured by the Commander’s flat plain terraces while volcanic plateaus develop into low-lying capes, cutting deeply into the ocean surface. Picturesque bays bordered by overgrown banks lie between these contrasting landscapes. With such wild and unique beauty, it is really no surprise that travellers fall deeply in love with these parts, a feeling that stays with them for the rest of their lives.
Blood – it’s part of our body’s internal defence system, reacting to any invasion from outside. It regulates our body temperature and delivers substances we need to all of our organs. The average adult body has between five and six litres of blood flowing through it, and if, due to an accident, this volume were to decrease by just a third, the person would be in real danger of dying. Fortunately, there is a whole medical system dedicated to helping people survive such dire situations and most anyone can help. All you have to do is visit a donation centre in order to give blood. Every year donors help provide others with another chance at life, saving thousands all over the world with their donation.
