Journey to the Commander Islands

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. 

Fisherman and Traveller Dmitri Drozdov

Dmitry Drozdov is an experienced fisherman, traveller and writer. He is an advocate for humane fishing and is helping to develop a new type of fishing in Russia – fly fishing. He is trying to change society’s view of fishing: He always releases a fish after he’s caught it and hopes that others will follow his example. Drozdov’s extreme love of fishing has led him to travel the world. By the age of thirty he had already managed to go fishing in Europe, North and South America and all over Russia. Drozdov however, is not the only one that gets enjoyment from his trips – in articles he describes his travels and experiences in detail for other fly fishermen, explaining how to catch different types of fish depending on the part of the world you’re in.
