Introducing Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky
Some see Petropavlovsk as a necessary evil, a hub to Russia's most beautiful scenery, others focus on the setting, one of the world's most beautiful - facing Avacha Bay and looking out at two giant volcanoes (when the fog behaves) and a long line of snow-capped mountains.
