Kamchatka: where the Earth bares its soul

 

Kamchatka 2000 expedition report:

Among our other hiking, rafting and mountaineering expeditions on Kamchatka was again "The Bears and Volcanoes" at the begining of August 2000. It was truly an international team: members from Australia, England, USA. Later we set an expedition to Tolbachik volcano for our very first clients from Sweden. And again Kostya Landburd with his unlimited enthusiasm led the expeditions. Below Kostya meets Yegor again at the Tolbachik lava fields. Kostya and Yegor at the Tolbachik lava fields

Tolbacik is a days drive from Petropavlosk, the last section is off road through the wilderness.

Alan Schick (on the left), an american ex-engineer, who challenged to explore Russia after having visited more then 20 other countries. Even the Cold War has gone for 15 years Alan was not too much fond of seeing Moscow, but rather chose a wild side of the country first.
In his 65 years he demonstrated a great performance during the Avacha volcano climb and made it to the top no problem. Congratulations Alan!!
