The Chukchi Peninsula, Chukotka Peninsula, or Chukotski Peninsula ((ロシア語:Чуко́тский полуо́стров), (ロシア語:Чуко́тка)), at about 66° N 172° W, is the eastmost peninsula of Asia. Its eastern end is at Cape Dezhnev near the village of Uelen. It is bordered by the Chukchi Sea to the north, the Bering Sea to the south, and the Bering Strait to the east. The peninsula is part of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia.〔("Chukchi Peninsula" ). (Encyclopedia.com ). Accessed September 2010.〕 The peninsula is traditionally the home of Indigenous peoples of Siberia as well as some Russian settlers. The peninsula lies along the Northern Sea Route, or Northeast passage. It was said to be the location of the prison camp/lead mine where Cornelius Rost claimed to have been imprisoned, as described in the book "As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me," by Josef Martin Bauer. However, the existence of such a camp at that time has been refuted.〔(Falsche Nachkriegserinnerungen - Der Schnee von gestern ) ''Sueddeutsche Zeitung'', published: 23 March 2010, accessed: 21 December 2011〕 Industries on the peninsula are mining (tin, lead, zinc, gold, and coal), hunting and trapping, reindeer raising, and fishing.

As reindeer populations diminish with industrialization, their healthy diet has been replaced by processed foods that lack essential vitamins and minerals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chukchi Peninsula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
