Expedition Cove, Coastal inlet in Primorsky Krai, Russia.

Russian maritime explorers charted this cove in the 1800s while mapping the northern Sea of Japan coast. The sheltered waters made it a useful stopping point for ships traveling these routes.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices in the cove's waters, passing down marine navigation knowledge through generations.
Visit during spring through autumn when the weather is more stable and suitable for exploring the shoreline. Local car rental or guided tours from major cities provide the most practical access to reach this coastal spot.
The cove supports diverse marine life adapted to the cold currents of the northern Sea of Japan. Visitors often spot rare seabirds and occasionally larger marine animals in the waters.
