Multitudinous whisper of Uzon

V.V. Vlassov, V.Ye. Repin, V.S.Prassolov, G.À. Êàrpov

Uzon…the multitudinous whisper of this word makes you think of tiny jets of vapor and gas, hissing and whistling, gushing out of the earth's interior. The caldera of this dormant volcano is like a cup buried among cold, rough mountains and boasting of its bright colors, warms springs and roaming bears. Extreme tourists from all over the world are ready to pay good money and spend days waiting for a helicopter in order to make it to this hard-to-reach and luring corner of Kamchatka. This fantastic world lost at the ends of the earth, however, is not only a Mecca for lovers of nature but kind of a natural laboratory that attracts scientists anxious to get an insight into the origin of life

Key words: Kamchatka, Uzon, caldera, volcano, mud spring, fumarole, thermophile bacteria, Kamchatka bears, colorless sulfur bacteria, sulfuretted hydrogen, mud volcano
