Tolbachik Landing. Kamchatka

This time my visit to Kamchatka has been rather special. I came here for a few days to explore the peninsula from up high. Along with the pilots @pilotmelnikov, @yanemeliano and @alex.tattoohin I have flown over entire Kamchatka and even reached the Northern Kuril islands on Cessna 172M airplane. 15 hours of flying, 2500 km of the overall distance. From up high the peninsula looks like a really pristine wildland with around 300 volcanoes, the most of which we were able to contemplate during our flying. We were flying over the most beautiful and significant of these volcanoes and taking photos of them. There's no way I can give a sense of flying several meters over the crater of Avachinsky volcano or nearby Kluchevskaya Sopka - the highest volcano of Eurasia. There's one feature which makes these flights really breathtaking: many of these volcanoes are located apart, it's not a mountain group with lots of peaks like Altay; these are stand-alone formations. They're very impressive in size, no photo can portray that.
During flying over to the most northern volcano of Kamchatka, which is Shiveluch, we landed at the footnote of Tolbachik volcano in one of the most picturesque spots of Kamchatka - in the dead wood area nearby the cones of the Great Fissure eruption of Tolbachik. I don't know if anyone had ever landed nearby Tolbachik before us but that is a grand event. In order to land not on an airfield but on a field track in a mountainous area one has to be really experienced. Do you remember when we were landing on the ice of Baikal? This time that was a hard thing to do as well. The landing point was chosen and inspected beforehand. We were given permits from the national park management, we submitted our flight plan with the landing in the dead wood. Having flown over the lava flow of 2012 our two airplanes landed on the field track.
Feel free to see the video of the way it was. If you feel impressed, put likes and repost them so that as many people as possible can get to know about that. That is the best kind of feedback and gratitude from viewers. Look forward to my upcoming posts of even more pics of Kamchatka volcanoes.
