As a result this eruption was very well-documented and on the internet there’s a mass of information about it – admittedly, mostly in Russian.In the first quarter of 2018, Kaspersky Lab's anti-phishing technologies prevented more than 3.7 million attempts to visit fraudulent social network pages, of which 60 percent were fake Facebook pages. So an expedition of volcanologists was dispatched there, who were lucky enough to observe the eruption from the very start.
Such fissures are a rather rare volcanic phenomenon, but this one was predicted by volcanologists based on their constant observations of seismic activity around these parts in the mid-seventies: in 1975 the frequency of earthquakes around Tolbachik sharply increased – which meant that somewhere nearby there was lava bubbling up nearer and nearer the earth’s surface. One of the unique natural phenomena of mid-Kamchatka is Severniy Proriv – Northern Fissure – a site where, as a result of a ‘fissure’, or crack, which formed during the 1975-76 big eruption of Tolbachik, three symmetrical cones of volcanic slag were left behind. And if you don’t already know the deal yourself, you will do by the time you reach the end of this post!… And yes – you’ve guessed it, now I know what the deal is with these world expos. There’s a reeeaaal long tradition of them, starting out in 1791 (!) in Prague, through 1900 in Paris, 2010 in Shanghai, to 2020 2021 in Dubai – where I happen to be writing this from. I’m talking about world’s fairs, aka world expos. I’d always heard about them down the years, but never had a taste for myself. However, there’s one type of exhibition I didn’t know much about, for I’d never been to one. So, yes – I visit plenty of exhibitions, knowing the ones I frequent inside-out. For example, there’s Hanover’s CeBIT (RIP) Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (where I was in June of this year) Interop in Japan the industrial Hannover Messe and Innoprom in Ekaterinburg the Chinese World Internet Conference assorted regional get-togethers the exclusive WEF conference-exhibition event in Davos INTERPOL-World, and even modern art in an exhibition format sometimes. There’s an information center there too:Īs you’ll probably know, I get myself to all sorts of exhibitions and events. The Thames Barrier saves London every time the level of the river gets too high. But before I get into my walk-report on this latest segment, let me briefly go over previous segments, as a summary review/reminder… I mean, it even has its own tag on my blog – an exclusive status for a ‘mere’ path ). Even the sections I’ve already walked (sometimes twice already!) – I’d relish the chance to be pals’ guide: that’s how much I enjoy it. For this is… the perfect path! I just like it so much I want to walk it over and over (and I do repeat some stretches, as sometimes I lose my way or it’s too rainy more in this below). capitals of the world… But you’d be wrong! (IMHO!). You might be thinking that walking along a path may not be fully… appropriate for one’s localized tradition in one of the foremost cosmopolitan, glamorous, etc. The next section would take us to the western edge of the Greater London Built-up Area, or just outside Greater London (confused? Me too:), which is just inside the M25 London Orbital Motorway, specifically – to Staines Bridge in the town of Staines-upon-Thames in the county of Surrey, which would take my total kilometers walked on the Parth to almost 80! I’d completed several stretches of the path before over the years – from its start at the Thames Barrier (in 2016), to Hampton Court earlier this year. My London tradition is a hike along a section of the Thames Path, which is nearly 300 kilometers long, starts out at the Thames Barrier to the east of central London, and ends in Kemble, Gloucestershire, way out west – almost as far as the sea in the Bristol Channel. Other traditions are localized: like my tradition every time I’m in the British capital…
Some folks – particularly adventurous Russians! – spend a month every summer in Kamchatka or Altai or the Kurils or some other similarly awesome part of the world. Some folks, for example, every New Year’s Eve go for a monster banya-session ( at least in Russia!). Traditions come in different shapes and sizes.
