Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan. The town is famous for its eponymous alpine lake, Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Eurasia, at an altitude of about 1,900 meters above sea level, which is known as the "Pearl of Armenia".
Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
Beowawe, a part of Elko County in north-central Nevada, USA, is one of the state's lesser-known and remote towns. Located along Interstate 80, it is surrounded by a vast and inhospitable area with a permanent population of less than 100 people, preserving the primitive features of the late 19th century pioneering West. The town is known for its unique geothermal landscape, with natural geysers and steam vents, and an abundance of subsurface thermal energy that attracted early mining development. Today, Beowulf attracts explorers with its serene wilderness atmosphere and geological wonders, making it one of the hidden destinations for experiencing the vastness and mystery of Nevada's "Sky State".
