Mèjňypilgyn

Mèjňypilgyn stands on the Bering Sea coast near the lagoons of Pekulney and Vaamochka. A narrow spit separates Pekulney from the sea, and channels connect it with Vaamochka to the west. Salmon enter the lagoons and the rivers that feed them. Kerek communities along this coast hunted seals and walruses as well as fishing; they used earth houses in winter and lighter dwellings in the warmer season.
