Tri Brata

Tri Brata (Russian: Три Брата; literally: "three brothers") is a set of three rocks at the entrance to the Avacha Bay, 400 meters west of cape Mys Zhukova. The rocks are aligned east-west 200 meters. The floor area of each rock measures between 1500 and 1600 square meters, which results in an aggregate area of half a hectare.[1] This picturesque stack, or kekur, is considered a symbol of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

Local lore suggests that they are three brothers who went to defend the town from a tsunami and turned to stone.
