• Мыс Брюса
[mys bru-sa]
Does it look like a Scandinavian landscape? No, it's Russia!
🔻Cape Bruce is one of the most picturesque places in Primorye, the Far East region of Russia.
🔻Precipitous cliffs are mostly vertical walls of basalt columns standing side by side like pencils in a glass.
🔻Above the tip of the cape, on a hill, there is the Bruce Lighthouse. Since 1911, the lighthouse has shown the way to seafarers.
🔻The name Cape Bruce appeared on Russian maps in 1865.
🔻According to one of the versions, the cape was named in honour of Peter the First’s supporter Yakov Vilimovich Bruce - however, he also had Scottish rather than Russian roots and a different name at birth - James Daniel.
