Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons in October 2017: I visited this site in late October 2017. There was a lot of snow on the rocks making it very difficult to see and photograph the petroglyphs. However, it was easier to see the many items of graffiti that have been etched into the boulders in recent times which was distressing. The museum in the village was devoid of any exhibits and the hall was being used as a community hall. I guess there are exhibits along with souvenir stalls in the summer when more folk visit the site. There are two areas with petroglyphs at Sakachi-Alyan. One easily reached on foot along the beach to the east of the settlement, the other to the west and requiring a boat trip which you can organise via locals. There are excellent copies of many of the boulders with petroglyphs on them at the Kharabrovsk Archaeological Museum.
