Created for avid sea kayakers
and shot in a variety of locations around
the world, from Greenland to Georgia to,
yes, Kamchatka.
Although the emphasis of this film is sea
kayaking in all its variety and not Kamchatka,
we've included it here because a full third
of the film (20 minutes) is dedicated to
a kayaking trip along Kamchatka's Pacific
coastline.
The Kamchatka segment of This is the
Sea documents a 300 mile kayaking journey
northward from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatksky
to the mouth of the Kamchatka River at the
village of Ust-Kamchatksk. Defined
by jutting peninsulas, cliffs, and volcanoes,
this section of Kamchatka's coast is generally
considered the peninsula's most beautiful.
Two western kayakers and a Russian guide
paddle and camp unaided along the virtually
uninhabited coastline.
This is the only film currently available
which provides footage of Kamchatka's Pacific
coastline.

journey.
