"The Fire Ring"
Avachinsky,
Mutnovsky and Gorely volcanoes
This short adventure program
offers to climb three different volcanoes around Petropavlovsk.
The climb to Gorely is rather a rambling walk for 3 hours, which
gives a spectacular view to the two crater's acid lakes. The
next visit inside the Mutnovskiy crater is an experience of a
life being because of its geysers. And at last the ascent to the
just about perfect conical Avacha is a chance to see the Pacific
coast and the other countless volcanic ranges of Kamchatka.
