Southern View from the foothills of Glory of Russia Cape
Detailed Description
Glory of Russia Cape, named by Russian Polar explorer, Gavril Sarychev, is the northernmost point of St. Matthew Island. The cape is best know for the 1989 shipwreck of the Greek ship "Milos Reefer". The rusted and battered haul is still visible below the rocky cliffs. This view was observed while conducting McKay's Bunting and Rock Sandpiper distance-sampling surveys on St. Matthew Island.
