Kresta Bay
The Kresta Bay or Kresta Gulf (Russian: Залив Креста; Zaliv Kresta) is a large bay of the Gulf of Anadyr on the southern coast of the Chukotka Peninsula, Russian Federation.
The Kresta Bay is open towards the south; it is almost 100 km in length and has an average width of about 45 km. There are two inlets and a coastal lagoon enclosed by a landspit inside the bay.
Kresta Bay is now a tourist destination. Kresta Bay Airport, served by Chukotavia, is located by Egvekinot, a small harbor in the bay.
History
This bay was first surveyed by Russian mariner Count Fyodor Petrovich Litke in 1828.
