Ilya Muromets Waterfall

The water stream descends vertically from the eastern slope of Demon Volcano directly into the Pacific Ocean, creating a single ribbon drop.

The waterfall location illustrates the complex territorial changes between Russia and Japan throughout different periods of the Kuril Islands administration.

The waterfall takes its name from a medieval Russian folk hero, commemorating the strength of the legendary warrior Ilya Muromets.

Access to the waterfall requires boat transportation, and visitors need to consider weather conditions and seasonal variations before planning their trip.

The waterfall combines features of volcanic terrain with maritime conditions, as its waters flow directly from a volcanic slope into ocean waters.
