Kamchatka is the land of volcanoes, that’s why the
main idea of trekking there is some kind of “volcanic adventure”, which
means – climbing volcanoes, crossing volcanic landscapes, approaching
volcanic activity, etc. All volcanoes included in our trekking program are
active, with recent explosions more or less powerful, and all are really
different – ash cones of Tolbachik, stiffed lava flow on the top of
Avachinsky, numerous fumaroles, jets, mud pots into the crater of
Mutnovsky. The best trekking season is July-September. The central part of
Kamchatka has continental climate, and the summer is warmer and longer
than on the south, where, due to influence of the Pacific and the
Okhotskoe sea, the weather is usually colder and wetter. Even in the
beginning of July a few parts of plateau around Mutnovsky and Gorely
volcanoes on the south Kamchatka are completely covered with thick layer
of pressed snow. In the mid-October slopes of volcanoes are already
covered with fresh snow again. Trying to catch a short summer, and due to
volcanic soil reach in minerals any vegetation on Kamchatka grows
extremely quick. During the whole season rivers are abundant with spawning
salmon.
In September, the average days’ temperatures are hardly more than +15.
Strong wind on the slopes of volcanoes is very often available.
But it’s worth efforts! Welcome to enjoy this strange place with
us! |
