There are several features within close proximity to the Pechanga. One of them is the world's deepest hole. Another is a gigantic meteor now used as a source for chrome. Then there's the (currently rusting) Russian submarine fleet.

It's not that this area is near NATO, but that it's within the Russian zone of control and has all sorts of stuff of interest to the Russians.

There's a hotel in the area that appears to make all its money during the week before the crabbing season.

This is within the Murmansk Oblast and it has an ICE FREE PORT.

I didn't know Alaskan King Crab had invaded the area. That's good eats!
