Kamchatka: where the Earth bares its soul

Report from 2001 expedition

Christine Grey, a Scottish photographer, has visited Kamchatka on June, when most of its volcanoes are covered in snow and trails are not so easy to trek. However, Christine managed to climb Gorely volcano and made a few incredible shots from the top of it. Her impression about the beauty of this Land of Wilderness was so deep that she wrote a small poem.

Yegor has led a classic "Wild Russia" expedition on Kamchatka - the "Bears and Volcanoes". This year we have done a trek on a horse back to Timonovskiye Hot Springs to the foothills of holy mt.Bakening and crater's lakes on the top of Gorely. See some exciting pictures below.

"Wild Russia" continue supporting international projects. There were expedition to mt.Demavand in Iran, overland tours to Ladakh, Tibet and Nepal. Since this year we expand our activities to corporate adventure trainings in St.Petersburg. We believe our goal for the next year is to be more involved in international adventure travel operations.  Assisting to the community of adventurers to explore the worlds and themselves is our mission of the coming year. If you wish to share your experience with us or new ideas, feel free to contact us at anytime by e-mail or by telephones.

		KAMCHATKA A land so far away will I Venture to quite soon They say it’s very beautiful And has landscapes like the moon A wildlife trip I hope to take Where mountains I might climb In geysers bathe at night time A trip to cleanse the mind I might go river rafting Where the rapid waters flow And maybe see the brown bears Watching salmon on the go Horseback trekking to Avacha All included in the plan A trip to make me humble Remember brotherhood of man A trip to reach into the soul And wash away the pain That the daily grind brings to my life Nothing ventured, nothing gained Kamchatka beckons me I know Kamchatka where I hope to go It’s so very far away Kamchatka, beg me stay
