Cape Velikan, Natural monument on Sakhalin Island, Russia
Cape Velikan extends into the Sea of Okhotsk with steep cliffs and exposed rocks that become visible during low tide periods.
The Russian authorities designated Cape Velikan as a protected natural monument in March 1990, covering an area of 39.4 hectares.
The cape contains geological formations that demonstrate the effects of wind and water erosion on the southeastern coast of Sakhalin Island.
Visitors need to follow specific regulations, including restrictions on hunting, fishing, and accessing bird colonies between May and August.
The protected area includes a seal rookery, bird nesting sites, and specific plant species like Sargent's juniper and Japanese spikenard.
