Kerek Uplands

The Kerek uplands occupy the mountainous coast between the Anadyr country and northern Kamchatka. Rivers descend from the Koryak highlands toward the Bering Sea, cutting valleys through the tundra and spreading into marshes near their mouths. Along this coast the Kerek people lived by hunting marine animals and fishing, adapting their lives to a harsh climate and a landscape of sea, rivers and mountains.
