The project will be called "Seven Volcanoes in Seven Months." Alex Abramov will lead two Super Girls groups to Damavand and Elbrus in August. According to the plan, the ascent of Damavand should take place on August 13. From that day, the countdown for the record will begin. It is considered "from summit to summit." In October, Giluwe is planned, in November, Orizaba and Kilimanjaro. In December, an expedition to the Antarctic volcano Sidley. And in February, Alexander should complete the project by climbing Ojos del Salado. To break the speed record (183 days, 20 hours and 54 minutes), he needs to climb the Chilean volcano before February 12. Which is not entirely easy, if our President intends to finish the Antarctic season only on January 22. That was in his plans.

Alexander Abramov can be safely called the "godfather" of the Seven Volcanoes program. It was the president of the 7 Summits Club who conceived, and our company carried out, the historic expedition of 2011 to Mount Sidley. Since the scientific discovery of this highest volcano in Antarctica, no one had been there. As a result of the 2011 ascent, the first people to climb all seven volcanoes appeared. These were the participants of our expedition Mario Trimeri and Crina Popescu. And this was the real start of the Seven Volcanoes program. Russia, represented by our company, is the world leader in the number of climbers who have climbed all seven volcanoes of the project. At the moment, out of 46 who have completed the project, 14 represent our country. There is something to be proud of!
