You would be happy to know that though Elbrus is one of the highest mountains in the world but it is easy to climb. Standard path leading to Elbrus is long and strenuous still easy to climb, probably the easiest among seven summits in the world. The fact that Elbrus is easily accessible with its gentle slopes attracts a lot of tourist climbers every year.

With the presence of both Volcanoes and ice, Kamchatka is also known as “land of fire and ice”. Kamchatka has largely been less explored by humans and is a remote paradise in Russia.
