The application for a Russian visa...

is quite involved; I'm surprised it doesn't require a DNA sample. Nevertheless, that onerous chore is now complete and my passport is on its way via FedEx to Washington DC for the required stamp.

But why? I'll be co-leading back-to-back Zegrahm expeditions along the Pacific Rim from Seward, Alaska to Sapporo, Japan this summer, and the visa is required for entry into Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands. (See the related links in the CALENDAR section in the right-hand column of this silly blog to learn more about this amazing adventure.)

Volcanoes galore. Many of them are active. Can't wait.
