On November 21 at 13:00 local time, the team "7 volcanoes in 77 days" (Alex Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh) climbed to the top of the Giluwe volcano, the highest on the Australian continent. Alex Abramov reports:

We climbed from the road without an overnight stay in 8 hours. We started at 5 am and reached the top at 1 PM. Now we are going down and flying home tomorrow morning.

There is a fifth volcano in the project! Five volcanoes on five continents in 29 days. Ahead is the most difficult and most remote object: Ojos del Salado and Sidley. In the meantime, we can and should rest.

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Papua New Guinea:

 Today another adventure happened. We started the journey with porters through the jungle. Crawling under another tree, Ilya bumped his eye into an umbrella. And he immediately fell to the ground in convulsions. The eye was damaged. We turned around and quickly descended to Mount Hagen. At the Main Hospital, the best specialist in Papua New Guinea will examine him. Saving Ilya's eye is more important than the mountain!

The "7 volcanoes in 77 days" team, consisting of Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh, has been flying from Mexico to Papua New Guinea for three days now. It is now the third night on the plane, and we spent the whole day in China. In Guangzhou. We visited the tent factory, which we are now buying for a new expedition to Everest.

The team of the 7 Summits Club of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" is now in Istanbul. On a transfer. We are flying straight to the 5th mountain of the project: Giluwe volcano in Papua New Guinea.

Only 24 days have passed since the beginning of the project (out of 77), and we have already climbed 4 peaks and are flying to the 5th.

There are several places in our groups for Antarctica to Vinson Massif - the highest mountain in Antarctica from the "Seven Summits" project and to Sidley Volcano - the highest volcano in Antarctica. Join now, who forgot or doubted!

The group "14 friends of Julio" with the guide Alexander Dorojukov and the group "7 volcanoes in 77 days", consisting of Alexander Abramov and videographer Ilya Gladkikh, have completed their Mexican program. Together they celebrated the victory, the successful ascent of Orizaba. The participants received well-deserved awards, honorary badges and certificates. Then again, all together they descended to the capital of the country, Mexico City, and are flying home.

At 7:45 am local time, our team gathered at the top of the highest volcano in North America. The 7 Summits Club group "14 Friends of Julio" climbed under the guidance of our guide Alexander Dorojukov. At the same time, the group of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" - Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh - reached the summit. We hope to get more information after the descent to the hotel. For Alexander Abramov, this is the fourth summit of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" (Elbrus, Damavand, Kilimanjaro) in 20 days. Ahead is Giluwe, on the Australian continent.

The "7 volcanoes in 77 days" team climbed to the assault camp of Orizaba peak 4700 meters.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Mexico:

The group "14 Friends of Julio" sends greetings from the slopes of Orizaba! Yesterday we went through acclimatization again, climbed to 4900m and saw what we have to go tonight. The assault is tonight, good luck to us!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Iran:

Oh, Artem and I suffered a lot on Damavand! The forecast did not quite come true, it was very harsh on the mountain. Gusts of wind constantly threw us off the path, but we dug in, endured and reached the summit! We were in the cloud the whole time, and so we returned to the shelter all covered in snow and ice. But our adventure did not end there, the cloudiness descended behind us, and we still had to go down from the shelter to the car in the blizzard and with flashlights in the dark. We were very tired, but happy with the impressions, such an ascent is remembered for a long time!

Alex Abramov sends from Mexico:

Today our "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" team (Alex Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh) ascends to Orizaba Base Camp. The Internet will probably be bad. In the meantime, a few photos and videos from the road.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Mexico:

The "14 Friends of Julio" group sends greetings from Orizaba Base Camp! We moved here yesterday. We settled into a comfortable camp, had dinner and rested. Today we are walking up to acclimatize. The night was cool, there is a lot of snow on the mountain and this is good.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from Mexico:

The "V Pepel" group decided to rename itself and now call itself "14 Friends of Julio". Yesterday we walked along the slopes of La Malinche, through a beautiful forest with gorgeous views. The weather is gorgeous, very warm and sunny. Also yesterday we saw our main goal - the Orizaba volcano. Good mood to everyone!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Iran:

News from Iran. Today, in three and a half hours at a super-even pace, we gained a kilometer of altitude and reached the refuge at an altitude of 4200 meters. While we were walking, the wind didn't bother us much, we even walked half the way in fleece jackets. But at the shelter it was already blowing quite a bit, and although the sun was shining, it was still cold. We tried not to get scared and prepared for the assault. The departure was scheduled for 4:30.

Today the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" team has arrived in Mexico. Tomorrow we are moving to the Orizaba Base Camp. And on the night of November 12-13 we are planning an ascent. To the 4th volcano from the project. The weather forecast is excellent. Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh.

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov sends from Iran:

Greetings from Iran! Unexpectedly for this mountain, Artem and I arrived at Damavand. Time is running out, but we flew according to the forecast. Well, as according to the forecast... the weather is walkable, but on the edge, windy. Today we arrived straight from the airport at 2200 and are resting in the hotel. So far, everything is going according to plan.

Actually, I arrived a day earlier than Artem. Yesterday, with my friend, the first Iranian with an international guide certificate, we climbed the local rocks not far from the capital.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov sends from Mexico:

The "V Pepel" group sends greetings from Mexico! Yesterday we walked around the pyramids of Mexico, got acquainted with the history of ancient populations, how they lived and what they did. We had a delicious meal in a cool restaurant. And in the evening we moved under the La Malinche volcano. Today we begin our acclimatization.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Mexico:

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today in the afternoon our supergroup "Inseparable" came to the high-mountain lodge Gorakshep (5100 m.). And after a short rest, we climbed Mount Kalapathar (5644 m.) And not in vain, to see Everest in the setting sun, it is worth a lot! Tomorrow our roads will lead us only down.

The 7 Summits Club group thanked the local team at the Horombo Refuge for their invaluable help throughout the program and during the ascent. As usual, we danced and sang together, and took photos. Then there was a descent through the humid jungle and the long-awaited comfortable hotel. In the evening, a ceremonial event was held to present certificates, medals and mutual gratitude. As usual, the party was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Smiles, laughter, handshakes and hugs, and even dancing, despite the fatigue!

 We join in congratulating Alexander Abramov - 3 highest volcanoes of the continents in 2 weeks! Keep it up!
