The Bosfor Vostochnyy (Eastern Bosporus) is a narrow strait north of Russkiy Island, leading directly to the port of Vladivostok on Russia's east coast. A series of three range lights in Vladivostok guide vessels on this passage. Special thanks to Maxim Pismak of Vladivostok for these photos of the three range lights.
