Do you know that the music was heard near the construction site by the Gorely volcano? The picturesque landscapes and unique sound acoustics were an inspiration for arranging classical music concerts. That’s a clear indication of how unique this place is since the complications associated with the delivery of the piano didn’t intervene with the implementation of the idea.
Nowadays, Gorely volcano is characterized by fairly calm, regular eruptions of basaltic lavas. Such lavas, due to their low viscosity, spread quietly over a large area, resulting in the formation of a shield volcano with gentle slopes. Such a regime, as a rule, does not lead to catastrophic eruptions. At the same time, no one can guarantee that this volcano will not change its “style of behavior” again, which has happened more than once in its geological history.

After peeking into the craters full of glaciers and lakes and fumaroles you’ll be in tune with the local imagery and sounds.
