Tauisk

Tauisk stands on the northern shore of the Sea of Okhotsk, in the country around Tauy Bay. Rivers descend from the coastal mountains to the sea, and the bay provides a meeting place between inland valleys and maritime waters. In the mid-seventeenth century Russian expeditions reached the Tauy and established a fortified post in the region. Even communities already lived along these shores and rivers, where fishing and movement between coast and interior formed part of local life.
