Iturup has been the subject of a territorial dispute between Russia and Japan and 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]
