magna, lava and co.

After a delicious breakfast from Melissa we started at 9:20 in direction to the valcona. I guess at some point I will know the names. We are lucky, Marcel is very interested in them and explains a lot. Fir example what the difference between lava and magna is (lava is the outside-of-the-volcano-magna, more or less). We quickly left the good road to a bumpy one. It was very funny sitting in the wheels since bumpy is in another dimension there. We stopped at a lava-river from the eruption of 2011 that distroyed the road so instead of taking one if a couple of kilometers we had ten to do. But thanks to the good driver we had no problems at all. Lunch was on a ash field, very delicious and not under the rain, very cool. We arrived at our campside at around three-ish, we were shown of how to set up the tents (no rain!!!) and quickly we were about to get ourselves at home here for the next four nights. The tents are quite small, the big bags having a bit worries to fit in. Luckily there are three blockhouses that are a kitchen and a diner room at the same time where we can also leave the luggage. Perfect. We went for a quick walk where Vasily explained us more about the eruption of 1975. It took place in november and since there was a blizzard people here didn’t figure out what was going on. The magna also didn’t came out of the volcano like we would expect but found a way underground and came out twice of the ground, we will have a look there tomorrow. At one place the whole thing needed 72 days and at the other more then 470 days to cool down. Back at the camp we had tea, then diner and a briefing for tomorrow. We gonna visit the dead forest, the four cones that were formed at the eruption of 1975 and into some caves. Exciting!Okumaya devam et
