Mosolova Bay

Mosolova Bay cuts into the mainland coast of the Strait of Tartary, opposite Sakhalin. The Duy River enters at the head of the bay, between wooded shores and the capes that guard its entrance. Farther north the strait narrows towards the Amur estuary. For the peoples of the mainland and Sakhalin, these waters formed part of a network of coastal crossings and exchange long before Europeans charted the passage.
