Getting to know Kamchatka. Volcanic mix

This is a journey for those who want to see living geology — how tectonic plates continue to form the earth's crust, and volcanic processes are taking place literally before your eyes. 

You will explore the lava fields of the Burnt Volcano, the boiling thermal fields of the Summer springs, the glacial lakes Takhkoloch and Tolmachevo and the unique crater lake "Bear Bowl", from the black titanium—magnetite sand of Khalaktyrsky beach to the active fumaroles at the foot of Mutnovsky volcano.

This tour doesn't just give you a break — it gives you a touch of the geological history of the Earth, the opportunity to experience the dynamics of the planet in real time, as well as the scale and grandeur of Kamchatka, where fire, ice and ocean are intertwined into a single "mix" of elements.
