| June 18, 2008 — Atlasova Island, Northern Kuril Islands, Russia Our Zodiac scouting party went in search of Brown Bears but after over two hours returned with only a brief sighting. After years of being hunted they are skittish and after a whiff of smell from the engine the one bear they saw along the beach bolted. Thus, after we had our second talk on volcanoes it was on to Atlasova Island which claims the highest peak of the Kurils — when you can see it. Conrad gave us a talk on the vegetation and Bruce on volcanos. Later, we left these stunning islands behind as we sailed northward through the Kuril Strait towards Kamchatka. |
