Helicopter Tour to Kuril Lake-Caldera of Volcano Ksudach-Khodutkinskye Hot Springs (Tour 2) HELICOPTER TOUR TO VALLEY OF GEYSERS-CALDERA OF VOLCANO UZON-NALYCHEVO VALLEY (TOUR 1) Period – all the year Transportation – helicopter Tour time – 6 hours Flight time – approximately 2 hours 15 minutes The famous Valley of Geysers is a canyon which has one of the biggest geyser area in the world. It is hidden in a hard access gorge of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve. It is unrivalled in beauty, landscape grandeur and number of springs throwing out fountains of hot water and steam. Gushing geysers, raging mud cauldrons, a turquoise lake, hot water and steam jets flowing down the slopes together with the lush greenery of grass and trees create a really fantastic sight. Not far from the Valley of Geysers there is one more unique and impressive place - Uzon caldera. It is a giant cavity with the dimensions 9×12 km, resulting from destruction of the ancient volcano, having an intensive hydrothermal activity on the bottom. There are a lot of boiling and raging craters, numerous mud cauldrons and small volcanoes, yellow fumaroles areas, steamy grounds where the steam and hot water come out from the earth. The peculiarity of this place is the crater-like holes 25-40 m deep and in diameter 25-150 m, in which hot lakes of odd colours are situated. ROUTE 11.00-12.00 - Flight from heliport of Yelizovo city to the Valley of Geysers. Flying around Karymskiy and Malyi Semyachik active volcanoes. 12.00-13.30 - Excursion to the Valley of Geysers. 13.30-13.40 - Flying to the Uzon caldera. 13.40-14.30 - Excursion in the caldera of Uzon volcano. 14.30-16.00 - Flying to the dining station in Nalychevo 16.00-16.30 - Returning to the heliport of Yelizovo city. COST The tour includes the following expenses: helicopter transfer to the Kronotsky Nature Reserve and back; fees of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve for rendered services (visiting, escort, information support); transfer hotel-heliport-hotel; services of a tour guide; dinner. PECULIARITIES The tour group consists of 18 people. Please note that delivery to the Kronotsky Nature Reserve and back is performed by a helicopter and directly depends upon weather conditions. Flight may be delayed for several hours or even several days. That’s why we recommend you to provide several reserve days for the case of non-flying weather or to plan your participation in this tour in the beginning of your journey over Kamchatka.

The six sites included in the serial designation group together the majority of volcanic features of the Kamchatka peninsula. The interplay of active volcanoes and glaciers forms a dynamic landscape of great beauty. The sites contain great species diversity, including the world's largest known variety of salmonoid fish and exceptional concentrations of sea otter, brown bear and Stellar's sea eagle. © UNESCO صخلملا 2017 Conservation Outlook Significant concern Conservation outlook for the geological values and also for the scenic values of the site is good as these are very robust against human activities, and because such activities are still relatively localized within the property. Conservation outlook is worse for the rich biodiversity values, which are protected by the size, remoteness, relative inaccessibility and pristine state of the site. Unsustainable use of natural resources (legal and illegal hunting and fishing) have started to erode these values along the additional threats posed by existing roads and the trend towards infrastructure development and associated with it increasing accessibility which will further increase the threats for biodiversity values.

VALLEY 1Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA 2Institute of Volcanic Geology and Geochemistry, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia 3Geologisk Institut, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark (Received March 20, 2003; accepted in revised form July 16, 2003) Abstract—We present the results of a regional study of oxygen and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes of Pleistocene to Recent arc volcanism in the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuriles, with emphasis on the largest caldera- forming centers. The ␦18O values of phenocrysts, in combination with numerical crystallization modeling (MELTS) and experimental fractionation factors, are used to derive best estimates of primary values for ␦18O(magma). Magmatic ␦18O values span 3.5‰ and are correlated with whole-rock Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes and major elements. Our data show that Kamchatka is a region of isotopic diversity with high-␦18O basaltic magmas (sampling mantle to lower crustal high-␦18O sources), and low-␦18O silicic volcanism (sampling low-␦18O upper crust). Among one hundred Holocene and Late Pleistocene eruptive units from 23 volcanic centers, one half represents low-␦18O magmas (ϩ4 to 5‰). Most low-␦ 18O magmas are voluminous silicic ignimbrites related to large Ͼ10 km3 caldera-forming eruptions and subsequent intracaldera lavas and domes: Holocene multi-caldera Ksudach volcano, Karymsky and Kurile Lake-Iliinsky calderas, and Late Pleistocene Maly Semyachik, Akademy Nauk, and Uzon calderas.

THE ROLE OF ECOLOGICAL BARRIERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL BOUNDARIES DURING THE LATER HOLOCENE OF THE CENTRAL ALASKA PENINSULA BY RICHARD VANDERHOEK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor R. Barry Lewis, Chair Professor Stanley H. Ambrose Professor Thomas E. Emerson Professor William B. Workman, University of Alaska ABSTRACT This study assesses the capability of very large volcanic eruptions to effect widespread ecological and cultural change. It focuses on the proximal and distal effects of the Aniakchak volcanic eruption that took place approximately 3400 rcy BP on the central Alaskan Peninsula. The research is based on archaeological and ecological data from the Alaska Peninsula, as well as literature reviews dealing with the ecological and cultural effects of very large volcanic eruptions, volcanic soils and revegetation of volcanic landscapes, and northern vegetation and wildlife. Analysis of the Aniakchak pollen and soil data show that the pyroclastic flow from the 3400 rcy BP eruption caused a 2500 km² zone of very low productivity on the Alaska Peninsula. This "Dead Zone" on the central Alaska Peninsula lasted for over 1000 years. Drawing on these data and the results of archaeological excavations and surveys throughout the Alaska Peninsula, this dissertation examines the thesis that the Aniakchak 3400 rcy BP eruption created a massive ecological barrier to human interaction and was a major factor in the separate development of modern Eskimo and Aleut populations and their distinctive cultural traditions.

  • 1 Fire and Brimstone: How Volcanoes Work
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-64112-8 - Eruptions that Shook the World Clive Oppenheimer Excerpt More information 1 Fire and brimstone: how volcanoes work Some volcanos are in a state of incessant eruption; some, on the contrary, remain for centuries in a condition of total outward inertness, and return again to the same state of apparent extinction after a single vivid eruption of short duration; while others exhibit an infinite variety of phases intermediate between the extreme of vivacity and sluggishness. G. P. Scrope, Volcanos (1862) [1] The Earth is cooling down! This has nothing to do with contem- porary global warming of the atmosphere and surface. I refer instead to the Earths interior the source of the molten rocks erupted by volcanoes throughout the planets 4.567 billion year history. Aeons before the continents drifted to anything like their familiar positions, and as early as 3.34 billion years ago, parts of the Earth were already colonised by primitive bacterial life forms. At this time, volcanoes erupted lavas with a much higher content of an abundant green min- eral called olivine than found in most modern volcanic rocks. This testifies to much higher eruption temperatures for the ancient lavas compared with present-day eruptions from Mt Etna or the Hawaiian volcanoes. In turn, it reveals that the Earths largest internal shell, the olivine-rich mantle, which comprises about 84% of the Earths volume, used to be considerably hotter, too (anywhere between 100 and 500 °C depending on whom you believe). While the Earth changes irreversibly through time, it also exhibits behavioural cycles acted out on vastly different timescales, such as the amalgamation and break-up of super- continents; the clockwork advance and retreat of ice ages steered by oscillations in the Earths axis of rotation and orbit around the Sun; the seasons; and the tides.

  • Water in Volcanic Glass: from Volcanic Degassing to Secondary Hydration
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 191 (2016) 216–238 www.elsevier.com/locate/gca Water in volcanic glass: From volcanic degassing to secondary hydration Angela N. Seligman ⇑, Ilya N. Bindeman, James M. Watkins, Abigail M. Ross Department of Geological Sciences, 1272 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1272, USA Received 3 December 2015; accepted in revised form 10 July 2016; Available online 25 July 2016 Abstract Volcanic glass is deposited with trace amounts (0.1–0.6 wt.%) of undegassed magmatic water dissolved in the glass. After deposition, meteoric water penetrates into the glass structure mostly as molecular H2O. Due to the lower dD(‰) values of non-tropical meteoric waters and the 30‰ offset between volcanic glass and environmental water during hydration, secondary water imparts lighter hydrogen isotopic values during secondary hydration up to a saturation concentration of 3–4 wt.% H2O. We analyzed compositionally and globally diverse volcanic glass from 0 to 10 ka for their dD and H2Ot across different climatic zones, and thus different dD of precipitation, on a thermal conversion elemental analyzer (TCEA) furnace attached to a mass spectrometer. We find that tephrachronologically coeval rhyolite glass is hydrated faster than basaltic glass, and in the majority of glasses an increase in age and total water content leads to a decrease in dD(‰), while a few equatorial glasses have little change in dD(‰). We compute a magmatic water correction based on our non-hydrated glasses, 3 3 and calculate an average 10 lnaglass-water for our hydrated felsic glasses of À33‰, which is similar to the 10 lnaglass-water deter- 3 mined by Friedman et al.

  • Kamchatka Peninsula
    Kamchatka Peninsula Koryaksky volcano at Kamchatka Peninsula The Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of Russia is a very active geothermal region, part of the Pacific Volcanic Ring, and is home to some 160 volcanoes, 29 of which are active. Some of the major volcanoes include Avachinsky, Mutnovsky, Kozelsky, and Gorely. In addition to these volcanoes, the surrounding region of the peninsula is a vacation destination with plenty of natural beauty. Natural hot springs, black beaches, and an acid lake are a few of the effects of the volcanic activity in the region. The abundant wildlife in Kamchatka includes fish and marine life, as well as many bears.
