Social entrepreneurs of Kamchatka. Galileo Impact Stories #27
Hi, friends. We at Galileo are trying out new formats and styles for our Youtube channel. Last week I visited a very interesting and far place – Kamchatka. I was working with a group of local social entrepreneurs and decided to tell you about one of them. So, let’s start.
What do you know about Kamchatka? No doubt, this sub-Arctic, 1250km-long finger of land in the Russian Far East is one of the top places on Earth for abundant wildlife, despite being covered in snow and ice most of the time of the year. It is a wild, far and mysterious land of volcanoes, forests and lakes.
Locals’ joke: the population is 300 000 and 25 000 of them are bears. Your chances to see a bear on the distance are significantly high, so be careful and watch out! Savage and unexplored, this area is populated with snow sheep, reindeers, wolves, foxes, wolverines, and sables.
Kamchatka stretches out between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. Coastal areas are home to whales, huge seabird colonies and thousands of sea otters. However, only a few thousands of tourists a year visit this little-known region. Kamchatka is a splendid place for outdoor entertainment: hiking, sailing, racing dog sledges and fishing.
There are also 160 volcanoes on Kamchatka and 29 of them are still active. The 29 active volcanoes are considered a UNESCO World Heritage site, and for good reason. Many volcanoes can be hiked, and the views are absolutely breathtaking, both from the ground and from the peaks. Knowing that the volcanoes still have an active connection with the molten rock in the mantle of the Earth and seeing the fumes escaping the crater only add to the thrill.
And now I want to present to you a wonderful social venture. The scientific and educational interactive museum is dedicated to the Kamchatka volcanoes and international ones. Vulcanarium.
Museum has opened just two years ago. In addition to rock samples and large photo-video material, the exposition includes unique models of lava flows in action. It conveys perfectly the unusual atmosphere of Kamchatka's natural wonders. You can start up in the clouds, go into the lava cave and see how the lava flow is formed. Visitors can watch, read, listen, touch and feel. The author and organizer of the project is the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, deputy director of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Samoilenko.
Sergei and his wife Alena are real enthusiasts and social entrepreneurs. They not just earn money but want to change something around them, make the life of people more interesting and conscious.
Their museum perfectly complements the tourist infrastructure of the Petropavlovsk city. I wish the organizers all the success and the museum’s exposition expansion. I hope many children and adults will visit it and will dive into the amazing world of volcanoes.
If you want to learn more and visit the Vulcanarium and Kamchatka region, you can write to Sergei and Alena at their official website. There are a lot of photos, videos, and information about the museum.
Well, I hope you like this impact story about social entrepreneurs from Kamchatka. Write in comments what do you think about the museum? Do you want to visit it? I guess so.
Thanks’ for watching. Bye, have a nice day!

Russian Volcano Avachinsky Just Erupted???

December 9th, 2019
avachinsky-koryaksky volcano!
We have another huge eruption in Russia. I can not write much as it will be banned. God Bless...Please share and Subscribe...God Bless...
Eruption warning for Russian city as volcano Avachinsky sitting on the Pacific ring of fire wakes up.
#Avachinsky - also known as #Avacha - and its big sister volcano Koryaksky tower over the Kamchatka capital of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, giving it one of the most spectacular city views anywhere in the world.
Recent days have seen signs of activity on stratovolcano Avachinsky - 2,741 metres (8,993 ft) - prompting warnings to locals and tourists to stay away.
Vulcanarium website warned: 'Today, December 9, early in the morning, the first outbreaks were recorded in the crater of the volcano.
'Avacha has high gas contamination, you cannot get to the top.'

A red glow and smoke is seen exuding from the crater.
A group of volcanologists were prevented from climbing beyond a height of 2,100 m (6,890ft) by the gas.
Climbing the volcano, as well as being within a radius of 5 km from it, is not recommended.
'We remind you that visiting the Avachi cone is currently dangerous,' said the site.
The Kamchatka branch of the Russian Expert Council for Earthquake Prediction, Seismic Hazard and Risk Assessment has already warned that the risk of an eruption has increased in the next month.

This is based on data provided by the Kamchatka branch of the Unified Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KB REC).
On Friday, the regional department of the Ministry of Emergencies used these findings to issue its own warning.
Valentin Yakovenko, an engineer with the service, said: 'We restored a station that is very useful and needed right now.

A group of volcanologists were prevented from climbing beyond a height of 2,100 m (6,890ft) by the gas.
'I think now we will have more data about the upcoming eruption.
'There is a strong gas contamination on the crater.'
The team needed to wear respirators and he said 'we are waiting' for an eruption.
Danila Chebrov, chairman of KB REC, said: 'A gradual increase in seismic energy released in the volcanic structure has been observed for about a month.
'The energy class of individual earthquakes exceeds 5.
'For this volcano, these are significant events.'

The glow at the summit of the volcano is an observable sign of a possible eruption, he indicated.
'This is the output of hot gases, the temperature of which exceeds 800 degrees Celsius.
'In social networks there was a picture taken at night with a photosensitive camera.
'The photo clearly shows the glow.
'Many believe that this is lava in the crater, however, this is not so - it is the glowing gases that escape through the crack at the top.
'This phenomenon was also recorded by our camera installed on the Avachinsky Pass.'
Forecasting of volcanic eruptions has improved in Kamchatka.
'We cannot say that Avacha will certainly erupt in the next month, but such a scenario is now very likely - be careful,' he warned.
In recorded history Avachinsky has erupted at least 16 times - with the largest in relatively recent times in 1945.
There were smaller eruptions in 1991 and 2001.
