 16 Sep 1998 11h, f = 28 mm. On the right, the south side of Vilyuchinsky volcano (2173 m). The volcanoes Aag (2310 m, left), Koryaksky (3456 m, center) and Avachinsky (2741 m, right) rise above the left horizon. |  16 Sep 1998 12h, f = 28 mm. The east side of volcano Gorely (1829 m) seen from its caldera. |  16 Sep 1998 14h, f = 28 mm. A bear preceded us by a few minutes on the path going to the crater of Mutnovsky volcano (2322 m). |  16 Sep 1998 14h, f = 28 mm. Looking North from inside the crater of Mutnovsky volcano (2322 m): the Mutnaya river erodes the N flank of the crater exposing old strata of ash and pyroclasts. |
 16 Sep 1998 15h, f = 28 mm. Inside the Mutnovsky crater looking at SE. In the center background, the top of Mutnovsky (2322 m). The glacier caves are melted by active fumaroles. |  16 Sep 1998 15h, f = 28 mm. Jenja (right) disappears behind a fumarole due to the interaction of Mutnaya river water with the Mutnovsky magma. |  16 Sep 1998 16h, f = 28 mm. The S side of Mutnovsky volcano (2322 m). On the left, the valley of Mutnaya river cuts the crater. |  16 Sep 1998 16h, f = 28 mm. The waterfall (30 m high) of Mutnaya river in the Opasny canyon erodes old pyroclastic strata. |
 17 Sep 1998 11h, f = 28 mm. From left to right: Viktor, Jonathan, Locko and Roby. In the background, the E side of Gorely volcano (1829 m). |  17 Sep 1998 11h, f = 28 mm. From left to right: Minoru, Ljuba, Locko, Jonathan, Jenja, Olivier, Roby, Sandra and Viktor. In the background, Vilyuchinsky (2173 m, center) and the Pacific Ocean (right). |  17 Sep 1998 11h, f = 135 mm. At the NE horizon, from left to right: Aag (2310 m), Koryaksky (3456 m), Zhupanovsky (2923 m) and Avachinsky (2741 m). |  17 Sep 1998 12h, f = 28 mm. Viktor stands below the SE crater of Gorely. At the SE horizon, Mutnovsky volcano (2322 m). |
 17 Sep 1998 13h, f = 28 mm. The first summit crater of Gorely seen from south, with a calm blue lake. |  17 Sep 1998 13h, f = 28 mm. The second and active summit crater of Gorely, with a boiling and acid green lake seen from SW. Mutnovsky (2322 m) in the background. |  17 Sep 1998 14h, f = 28 mm. The antenna of the seismic station on the top of Gorely volcano (1829 m) is covered of sublimated ice. |  Take the jeep of volcanologists towards Tolbachik volcano! |
