We got to the island by ferry. Previously, there was a protective fort, later a military prison, and then a prison for especially dangerous criminals and those who attempted to escape from previous places of detention. We froze along the way. Cold current all around. Take warm clothes with you. Listened to the tour guide in English. They talk well about the history of this place, about escape attempts, etc. It was interesting
