Tri Brata

Tri Brata (meaning "Three Brothers" in Russian and other Slavic languages) is a geographical feature consisting of three prominent, tall, and narrow rock formations standing close together in the Avacha Bay, near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai, Russia.

These natural sea stacks are a well-known landmark and a popular tourist attraction. Their formation is attributed to erosional processes acting upon harder rock formations that were once part of the coastline. Softer rock surrounding the "brothers" has eroded away over time, leaving the resistant stacks that are visible today.

The name "Tri Brata" is often associated with local folklore and legends explaining their origins, typically involving three brothers who sacrificed themselves to protect their homeland. These stories vary depending on the source and specific cultural interpretation. The formations serve as a symbol of the Kamchatka region and are frequently featured in local art, souvenirs, and promotional materials.
