Russia (Around the World in 80 Men Book 15)

The western slopes of the mountains are brightly illuminated, while the eastern slopes are in shadow. Four major volcanic centers create this part of the island. Fuss Peak image center left is an isolated stratovolcano connected to the main island via an isthmus. Fuss Peak last erupted in The southern tip of the island is occupied by the Karpinsky Group of three volcanic centers. A minor eruption of ash following an earthquake occurred on this part of the island in The Lomonosov Group to the northeast image center includes four cinder cones and a lava dome.

The most recent volcanic activity on Paramushir Island occurred in at the Chikurachki cone located along the northern coastline of the island at image top center. The summit of this volcano, 1, m 5, ft above sea level, is the highest on Paramushir Island. Much of the Sea of Okhotsk visible in the image is covered with low clouds that often form around the islands in the Kuril chain.

The eastern side of the Kamchatka Peninsula juts into the Pacific Ocean west of Alaska in this enhanced winter satellite image. Snow-covered peaks and valley glaciers feed blue ice into coastal waters. The Kamchatka Peninsula is home to volcanoes, 29 of which are active. For other active volcanoes in Russia, see the Natural hazards-volcanism subfield in the Geography section.

The prominent crimson streak in the center of this false-color satellite image represents the remains of a 50 km 31 mi lahar volcanic mudflow that cut a strip of barren rock through rich vegetation surrounding the Anyuyskiy Volcano. The currently dormant volcano is the orange circular shape at the right end of the streak.

Remote and largely inaccessible, the Kamchatka Peninsula is a rugged collection of towering volcanic peaks, steep valleys, active geysers, and wild, snow-fed rivers and streams. Red dots mark the locations of fires burning in countries south and east of the Baltic Sea in this early April image. The scattered fires were probably set to clear land for agricultural purposes.

The Scandinavian countries, Norway and Sweden, and Finland to the north of the Sea, are still blanketed in snow. Belarus forms the lower right corner of the image. Measured by surface area, the Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland water body. It covers roughly , sq km , sq mi and borders five countries. To the ancient Greeks and Persians, the lake's immense size suggested it was an ocean, hence its name. A large expanse of clear sky permitted this natural-color satellite image of the entire water body.

The color of the Caspian Sea darkens from north to south, thanks to changes in depth and perhaps sediment and other runoff. The northern part of the lake is just 5 to 6 m 16 to 20 ft deep. The southern end, however, plunges more than 1, m 3, ft. Just as the lake reaches a greater depth in the south, the nearby land reaches a greater height.

The mountains of northern Iran line the southern end of the giant lake, and emerald green vegetation clings to those mountain slopes. In marked contrast to the mountains, sand seas line the southeastern and northern perimeters of the lake, and marshes occur along the lake shores in Azerbaijan to the west. Multiple rivers empty into the Caspian Sea, the Volga being the largest. Lacking an outlet, the Caspian Sea loses water only by evaporation, leading to the accumulation of salt. Although a lake, the Caspian is not a freshwater lake; the water delivered by the Volga River minimizes the lake's salt content at the northern end, but the Caspian grows more saline to the south.

Kara-Bogaz-Gol is a saline inlet along the lake's eastern perimeter. When wind-driven clouds encounter obstacles, in this case islands, they flow around them to form large, spinning eddies known as Karman vortices. Nicknamed "Dragon Lake," this body of water is formed by the Bratskove Reservoir, built along the Angara River in southern Siberia, near the city of Bratsk.

At its inauguration in , the Reservoir was the largest artificial lake in the world with a surface area of 5, sq km 2, sq mi. This high-resolution satellite image was acquired in winter, when the lake was frozen. The Lena River, some 4, km 2, mi long, is one of the longest rivers in the world. The Lena Delta Reserve, shown in this enhanced satellite photo, is the most extensive protected wilderness area in Russia; it serves as an important refuge and breeding ground for many species of Siberian wildlife. The wave-dominated delta of the Lena River is 30, sq km 11, sq mi making it one of the largest of its kind in the world.

The Mayn River on the left , seen here in a false color satellite image with a portion of the Anadyr River on the right , flows through the far northeastern corner of Siberia. Both rivers carry a great deal of sediment and over time have created an amazing number of oxbow lakes. In this forest-tundra zone, both rivers remain frozen for 8 to 9 months out of the year. Vivid colors and bizarre shapes come together in an false-color satellite image that could be an imaginative illustration for a fantasy story.

This labyrinth of exotic features is present along the edge of the Chaunskaya Bay vivid blue half circle in northeastern Siberia. Two major rivers, the Chaun and Palyavaam, flow into the bay, which in turn opens into the Arctic Ocean. Ribbon lakes and bogs are present throughout the area, created by depressions left by receding glaciers. The arch commemorates the victory over Napoleon; it is topped by a bronze sculpture of Victory herself riding a six-horse chariot. The building is now part of the Hermitage Museum.

Saint Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg is the largest in the city. Its neoclassic exterior masks its sumptuously decorated interior. The Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg - built between and - surrounds the Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral completed , which houses the remains of almost all of the members of the Russian imperial family.

The Old Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange white building and one of its flanking Rostral Columns overlooking the inner harbor of the city. It was a blank shot fired from this ship that signaled the assault on the Winter Palace and launched the October Revolution. The single-piece red granite column was erected between and in grateful commemoration of Czar Alexander I who led the Russian victory in the war with Napoleonic France.

The monument - the tallest of its kind in the world - is The Palace boasts a remarkable array of 64 decorative fountains, including a spectacular sculpture of Samson prying open the jaws of a lion as water cascades down terraced steps in the background. This was Peter I's summer palace. Some of the beautiful architecture found in the interior of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.

Located on the River Neva, the museum occupies six buildings and reputedly houses 3 million works of art. The Soviet Government removed the chapel in and the gate in Both were rebuilt between and Originally constructed in , the structure was destroyed in by the Soviet Government. It was rebuilt between and using detailed measurements and photos that had been preserved of the original church.

Countries with young populations high percentage under age 15 need to invest more in schools, while countries with older population. This is the population pyramid for Russia. A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development.

The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends. For additional information, please see the entry for Population pyramid on the Definitions and Notes page under the References tab.

Dependency ratios are a measure of the age structure of a population. They relate the number of individuals that are likely to be economically "dependent" on the support of others.

This entry gives the average annual number of deaths during a year per 1, population at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth.

Black in the USSR: what's life like for a 'Russian of colour'?

Top Reviews Most recent Top Reviews. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. They just continue to get better and better Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Each book I read gets better and better. How these two talented authors come up with the stories and scenarios without repeating themselves time after time is a true art!

I could go on and on, because Morgan makes up fall for everyone that she meets. I never thought I would say that I admire a call-girl but because these stories are so well-written, the humor in the books is over the top and the way that Morgan is always trying to do for others or fix the ones that are "broken", she definitely earns my admiration. She judges no one so how can anyone judge her for her occupation. She is the most caring, giving and honest characters I have ever read! Even with a few grammatical errors, the stories are fun so it's easy to breeze past them.

The authors have impressed me with creating so many unique men for Morgan to hook up with. I had never thought of a high class call girl business put together with so many semi perfect male clients. My idea of a John pictured older, wealthy men that you would have to pretend to enjoy or serve. At least all these gorgeous men seem to have good reasons for wanting a week with a paid companion. Morgan is so young, klutzy and naive, it is cool to watch her slowly mature and grow in her career. Would be nice if she planned her destinations in a more logical fashion, progressively traveling the globe with shorter distances.

Whew, talk about burn out! But that's just me. If I were only 30 years younger and had an opportunity like this!!! It's the perfect balance between funny, erotica, plot and adventure. Great writing style and lots of great ideas to use in your own bedroom. Unfortunately the grammar is horrible spelling, punctuation and other errors all over the place but it's definitely worth looking over all of that.

I wish I had a friend like Angel and I can't wait to see if his relationship with Cedric definitely slips. Big cliffhanger at the end! Finish book 30 now so I can buy the 3rd box set already! I'm so loving this Morgan with all her confidence and finally opening up to her feelings for Tanner and Finlay.. But I still need me an angel for my life.. Glad to see Finlay stood up for his Morgan when the time was needed for it.

Angel oh my heavens I know you will always be a bright spot to read and I can picture you acting all diva Julianne so Happy for her!!!! A beautifully written series of books! Not normally my genre but the authors had me hooked from page one! I love how attached to the characters you become - feeling their joys and sorrows, laughing at the mishaps, crying at the losses, outraged on the behalf of the characters! I loved these books.

But get Around the world: These books keep me on your toes. I couldn't put it down so hot and steamy. All the different men she meet on travels are hot. These book are must read for romance, erotica , readers all alike. This will make you believe that sex is not overrated and it can happen. I'm really loving this series. Not only do I love all the hot, sexy men she gets to spend time with, but I love how we get to see Morgan on her journey of self-discovery.

Then there's the added bonus of her best friend Carlos. The interactions between Morgan and Carlos always leave me in stitches. I love this series!
