Ilya Muromets (Илья Муромец), named after the East Slavic folk hero, is a very steep vertical waterfall on the Bear's Peninsula of Iturup, one of the Kuril Islands. Because of the territorial dispute between Russia and Japan over the island of Iturup, it also has a Japanese name, Rakkibetsu Waterfall (ラッキベツの滝). The water stream falls abruptly from the eastern slope of the Demon Volcano into the Pacific Ocean.[2] Ilya Muromets is rarely seen by tourists, however, because it can be accessed only by boat.[3]
