Active Volcanoes and Grizzly Bears - We Survived!

Well Loz and I are both well and truly back into the civilised world now and are still processing the enormity of what we were able to achieve in Russia. We went over with the exceedingly high goals of being able to summit an active volcano, get into an active volcano, fly from said volcano and see a bunch of Grizzly bears up close and personal in the wild. With weather and the uncertainty of our environs sure to be against us, we went into the adventure with high hopes but realistically low expectations. 

Well the following is what eventuated in short. We summited numerous active volcanoes, got inside them, spent several weeks in some of the most amazing wilderness I have ever experienced, were caught in numerous blizzards, managed to fly from the summits of these volcanoes and even managed to melt our wings after our last flight! A full trip report will be published in due course, but for now, check this photo montage out!
