Looking for a frienship and possibly more in petropavlovsk

On April 23 the snow-clad hills and mountains of the Kamchatka coast could be seen dimly through the swirls of sleet which coated the ships with ice. This was the famous timekeeper now called K1 which had provided longitude so faithfully throughout the three years and eighteen days of the second voyage and the first two years and nine months of the third. That left the other Kendall K3 and an Arnold probably A3 aboard Discovery , which, meanwhile, had disappeared in the fog. The fire was lit in his stove.

Travelling to Kamchatka. Kamchatka is a mile-long peninsula roughly the size of California, yet only , Soviet persons were allowed to live there, and all with special military clearances. The reason for the secrecy was Kamchatka's far eastern location: A little bit west of the Aleutian Islands, the peninsula was just far east enough to eavesdrop on the United States during the Cold War. While Kamchatka was shrouded in military secrecy, its animal population was left to flourish. Some of the largest grizzly bears in the world roam Kamchatka's interior, while tens of millions of salmon invade its undammed streams and rivers each summer, just as they have for thousands of years. Kamchatka is also one of five major geothermal areas in the world, making it a main link in the Earth's "Ring of Fire," a circular pattern geologists have named for the location of volcanic fissures in the Earth's crust. With more than volcanoes, 30 of them active, Kamchatka is a prime spot of study for the world's vulcanologists.
