COLLECTION by Compagnie Du Ponant | 3 Contents ARCTIC COLL e CT i ON Summer CruiSeS 2013 TO i D e 2 | Summer CruiSeS 2013 The Hidden Arctic There are journeys... and then there is the 5-star Arctic Expedition. Far from the madding crowd and the usual tourist destinations, from Iceland to Spitsbergen, Greenland to Baffin Bay, from the legendary North West Passage to the wild Russian Far East coastline, this is truly a trip into another world. Following the dreams of the great explorers, we can now, for the first time, take you from Europe to Asia via one of the most mythical sea passages of all: the legendary North West Passage. It is in the spirit of adventure - steeped in a long and majestic history - that Compagnie du Ponant has added this voyage of discovery to its Summer 2013 itinerary, to be undertaken aboard our newest flagship, LE SoLéAL. on her maiden crossing LE SoLéAL - whose symbolic name is a combination of "the sun" and "that which forges the path" - will take you into the heart of this fascinating and remote region. once aboard, you will find all the benefits of her sister ships, LE BoRéAL and L’AuSTRAL: a welcoming, gracious ambience and, as always, the authentic yet refined sailing experience that defines Compagnie du Ponant’s yachting cruises. Whether you have an adventurous soul or simply a love of the great beyond, the call to these Polar lands will resonate in your mind as an invitation to set sail for the monumental, magnificent landscapes of the Far North, where the iridescent ice glows eternally in the muffled silence of infinity; nature at her most magical. At Compagnie du Ponant, when we refer to our cruises, what we are really talking about are the experiences we offer. This is precisely because that is what they are: so much more than just a journey, an Arctic cruise is the promise of an exceptional destination, an exploration into another world. unique moments and incomparable emotions await...

It is currently the only French cruise line to own three ice designed ships that offer polar cruises, sailing in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. PROVEN EXPERIENCE For its 10th season in the Arctic, La Compagnie du Ponant offers you a choice of unique cruises, a fascinating experience heading deep into the Arctic Circle. Two of our ships, LE SoLéAL and LE BoRéAL will take you into the heart of the Far North. Thanks to their smaller size and their high technical specifications, they give you access to exceptional sites in 5-star comfort that is unique in these extreme regions. only a handful of ships are currently able to offer these privileged conditions, adding an air of exclusivity to our expeditions. A TEAM OF POLAR SPECIALISTS You will embark aboard our ships in the company of true Arctic professionals. Our Captains are all ice specialists and experts in navigation in extreme regions and all have lengthy experience with the company. Our Naturalist, Guides and Lecturers and senior on-board staff are all seasoned scientists who will share their experience with you. Fitted with perfectly safe and stable Zodiac® inflatable boats, we organise trips for small groups that allow you great proximity to the natural environment. 6 | Summer CruiSeS 2013 TOTAL SAFETY The safety of our passengers has always been our number one priority and is the constant concern of our experienced Captains. our two ships with ice-going classification meet very specific international criteria and are at the cutting edge of technology in terms of their safety equipment: • Sonar: This allows the sea bed to be visualised in 3D in order to get as close as possible to the ice floes in total security. • GMDSS: A system of emergency communication by radio. • Zodiac® tracker: Each Zodiac® is fitted with a permanent tracker which allows it to be monitored by satellite. • A satellite weather station: updated in real time, it allows navigation routes to be optimised, to ensure the greatest possible comfort for our passengers.

Our teams count around ten specialists by expedition. Nicolas DuBREuIL - Expedition Leader Nicolas has been accompanying polar expeditions for more than 20 years and speaks 3 greenlandic dialects. He fell in love with the region to such an extent that he wrote an ethnology thesis on it, and the polar expanses have no secrets for this expedition Leader, Film maker and Lecturer. He has shared his experience with La Compagnie du ponant for the last seven years, helping to design navigation routes with the Captain. He gets great pleasure from sharing his memories and knowledge. José SARICA protecting the environment has been José’s vocation since he was a child. After studying marine biology and earning a phD, he trained in animal-assisted therapy in Quebec, and has been teaching there for the last five years. passionate about marine mammals, he has published numerous articles in international scientific journals. He is taking part in the Compagnie du ponant’s polar cruises for the fifth season. Raphaël SANé raphaël is passionate about Nature and has a degree in hydrobiology. After having worked for naturalist associations and participated in a number of expeditions, he is now a guide-Lecturer on our ships. A fervent protector of nature, he is always available to share his knowledge. This year will be his sixth season on board our ships in the polar regions. Samuel BLANC After spending 15 months in Antarctica on a French base, it was a natural progression for Samuel to become a guide to the polar regions. He is very involved in a number of nature protection organisations and is studying ecology and the management of natural spaces, so he is keen to raise passenger awareness about the respect and protection of the environment. He has been present on our polar cruises for the last 6 years. * Non-exhaustive list.

KOSTINA Institute of Marine Biology, Academy of Sciences of Russia, Vladivostok 690041, Russia Abstract A description of the intertidal biota of volcanic Yankich Island (Ushishir Islands, Kuril Islands) is given. The species composition and vertical distribution pattern of the intertidal communities at various localities are described in relation to environmental factors, such as nature of the substrate, surf conditions and volcanic vent water. The macrobenthos is poor in the areas directly influenced by high tempera­ ture (20-40°C) and high sulphur content. There are no marked changes in the intertidal communities in the areas of volcanic springs that are characterised by temperature below 10°C and by the absence of sulphur compounds. In general, the species composi­ tion and distribution of the intertidal biota are ordinary for the intertidal zone of the middle Kuril Islands. But there are departures from the typical zonation of the intertidal biota. Also, mass populations of Balanus crenatus appear.

The conference examines the concept of diversity as a positive aspect of a global world and globalized society. Diversity is in many ways reflective of our present world order, but there are ways of taking this further without necessarily engendering its alternatives: racism, conflict, discrimination, and inequity. Diversity as a mode of social existence can be projected in ways that deepen the range of human experience.

  • 20. Russo-Japanese Relations and the Security of North-East Asia in the 21St Century
    20. Russo-Japanese relations and the security of North-East Asia in the 21st century Tsuyoshi Hasegawa I. Introduction Since the spring of 1996 Russo-Japanese relations have shown remarkable improvement. At the beginning of 1997, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated a ‘multi-layered’ approach to Russia, expanding cooperation into the economic and security areas and abandoning the policy of ‘balanced expansion’ which linked the level of economic cooperation with progress on the issue of the southern Kuril Islands. In July then Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto delivered a historic speech at the Keizai Doyukai (the Japanese Association of Corporate Executives), proclaiming Japan’s Eurasian foreign policy and enunciating three principles—trust, mutual interest and long-term perspective—as the guiding principles of Japan’s Russia policy.1 This was followed by two ‘no-necktie’ meetings between Hashimoto and Russian Presi- dent Boris Yeltsin, first in November 1997 at Krasnoyarsk and then in April 1998 at Kawana in Japan. At Krasnoyarsk Hashimoto and Yeltsin signed the Hashimoto–Yeltsin Plan for economic cooperation and pledged to conclude a peace treaty by the year 2000, resolving the question of the Kuril Islands on the basis of the 1993 Tokyo Declaration.2 At Kawana, Hashimoto reportedly proposed a solution to the territorial issue by proposing the demarcation of the border.3 Hashimoto was scheduled to make a trip to Moscow in the autumn of 1998, at which point Yeltsin was expected to respond to this proposal. The unprecedented speed with which both sides attempted to repair relations that had long been in stalemate gave rise to expectations in both Japan and Russia that it might indeed be possible to conclude a peace treaty before the next millennium.

Hydrothermal fluxes of magmatic chlorine and sulfur from volcano-hydrothermal systems of the Kuril Islands (Russia). Elena Kalacheva (1) and Yuri Taran (1,2) (1) Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, FED RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky 683006, Russia ([email protected]), (2) Institute of Geophysics, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México City 04510, México ([email protected]) The hydrothermal flux may be provided by the discharge of fluids formed at depth over the magma body and/or by acid waters, which are formed by the absorption of the ascending volcanic vapor by shallow groundwater. Thus, the anion composition (Cl and SO4) of the discharging thermal waters from a volcano-hydrothermal system in many cases originates from the volcanic vapor and should be taken into account in estimations of the magmatic volatile output and volatile recycling in subduction zones. Here we report the chemical composition of thermal waters and the measured solute fluxes from volcano-hydrothermal systems of Kuril Islands including Paramushir (Ebeko volcanic centre), Shiashkotan (volcanoes Sinarka and Kuntomintar), Ketoy (Pallas volcano), Kunashir (vol- canoes Mendeleev and Golovnin). The fluxes were estimated after measuring flow rates and water composition of streams that drain thermal fields of islands. The maximal hydrothermal flux of Cl and S within the Kuril Chain was measured for Ebeko volcano, Paramushir (drained by Yurieva River) as 82 t/d and 222 t/d of chloride and sulfate, respectively. This is comparable with output by fumaroles of Ebeko.
