Cape Serdtse-Kamen
Cape Remote Arctic headland on Chukotka coastline
Cape Serdtse‑Kamen in Chukotka marks a remote Arctic headland on the Bering Sea; visitors are typically researchers or expedition passengers drawn by seabirds, marine mammals and isolated tundra landscapes.
Cape Serdtse-Kamen is a coastal headland in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, in the Russian Far East. The name identifies a promontory along the region’s northern Pacific-Arctic coastline.
As a natural coastal formation it consists of shoreline rock and adjacent tundra typical of Chukotka’s coasts. There are no major built visitor facilities at the cape and access is limited by remoteness and regional transport availability.
The cape is a natural geographic feature with no notable construction history recorded; its form results from coastal geomorphology and sea processes over time.
It is located in northeastern Russia within Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, on a remote stretch of coastline in the Russian Far East.

Access requires chartered transport from larger towns in Chukotka - typically Pevek or Anadyr - by helicopter or ice-strengthened boat in July-August when sea ice retreats. Travel is logistically complex and must be organized through regional operators or research institutions.
