Kamchatka is a peninsula located at the eastern end of Russia, in a place whose remoteness has helped preserve its great natural beauty. Foreigners were not allowed to visit during the Soviet era, and even today few tourists venture to this far-flung corner of the world
The Word «Solstice’ comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning sun and statum, or stationary sun. It occurs at a time of year when the sun is over one of the tropics, making the day or night the longest of the year.
It usually occurs around 21 June. For those in the northern hemisphere, it is the summer solstice, bringing the longest day and shortest night. In the southern hemisphere, it is the winter solstice and means the opposite: the shortest day and longest night. Both have one thing in common: the rituals, celebrations and traditions centred on the sun as a symbol of rebirth and hope.

It takes patience and a little effort, but the reward is priceless: their colourful clothing, ornaments, customs and way of life make you forget your tiredness.
