Wintering

Off the coast of Antarctica, in the southern ocean, there is a small island. No one knows about it, except for polar explorers who winter in Antarctica, and their relatives. On the island, right on the rocks, there are sarcophagi. People who are not written about in geography textbooks are buried here. But without them, it would be impossible to develop Antarctica. More than 60 years have passed since the first burial. During this time, the cemetery has never been completely renovated. Our team of 8 people went to Antarctica to make it for the first time.

In the summer of 2007, a group of four volcanologists landed in Medvezhya Bay on Iturup Island in the Great Kuril Ridge. The purpose of the expedition is to study the Kudryavy volcano, the hottest on the planet. Volcanologists will have to live on the island for 2 months. And this part of their life will pass away from stuffy cities, from demanding civilization, from endless fuss. It is believed that 7515 years have passed since the creation of the world, but it seems that nothing has changed on Iturup since then.
