The tragedy of 1981

The typhoon "Elsa" was the most powerful catalyst for torrential rains on Kamchatka in 1981. Such kind of showers were in these places only once. They did not avoid the volcano Vilyuchinsky.

The rain stream, which rushes along the slopes of the volcano, began to erode them. Screes liquefied and this contributed to the formation of a dense stream of water, sand and stones. At the moment when the village fell along the channel of a small river, on its way a car with three climbers returning from the volcano met. Saving was only a chauffeur who later told that he heard a buzz coming from the top. Miraculously he managed to get out of the car and stay away from the mud flow, the car with the passengers was carried away by the mudflow.

Tourist

Visit the Vilyuchinsky volcano in winter and summer in one of the following programs

We dress warmly. Although no one is going to climb to the top of the volcano - let's leave this matter to the fearless and enduring tourists - but a walk along the snowy slopes requires a jacket or a downy waistcoat. In the direction of Vilyuchinsky there are always a lot of cars, so the option of hitchhiking works in most cases. As a spare - in case of total bad luck - we are warmed by the thought that you can easily get in the body of the tourist watch. Only just get ready - shaking on the road will be severe. Asphalt is laid only to the village of Thermal, then - the dirt track. On the way we meet camp sites. Here all bathe in the thermal springs. And we also could not resist. Natural pool, water with steam, it smells specifically, but you quickly get used to it. And most importantly - around the beauty! After warm baths you quietly admit to yourself that you still love this world. At the foot of the volcano, we quickly find a high, picturesque waterfall. The pictures are wonderful. It seems that the water begins to move from the stony top, overgrown with azure greens, and ends - in the snow covered palisade. On the slopes of the volcano, many break camps, snack, go further. It smells of flowers and grass. The air is intoxicating. Next to us is a married couple who have already twice visited the peak of Viluchinsky. But even the fascinating stories about the view of the ocean from the height of the volcano could not make us spend five hours on a difficult climb. I wanted to continue to sit on the grassy "cushion" of the slope and be content with the beauty of the volcanic plateau.

On September 5, 1981, after a heavy rainstorm brought by the typhoon of Elsa, a mud stream (selenium) came down from the western slope. At this time four people came back from the volcano on the car: three climbers and a driver.

Legends

Kamchadals consider volcanoes the dwellings of the deceased and say that smoke is seen above the peaks, when the deceased are drowning their yurts. They feed, according to the aborigines, with whale oil, and whales catch in the underground sea. The same fat is used to have light, and bones are stoked in place of firewood.

The Kamchadals are called "Kamuli" or "small souls" (the Kamchadal soul is "Kamulich"). These gods, according to the aborigines, are enemies of man.
