These athletes make up part of a big, friendly sky family whose members are all working toward a common goal — realising the dream of their fearless captain, Irina Sinitsinaya, who was tragically killed while trying to set a record in California. Full of energy, these tireless women soar high in the sky like bright stars in order to reach their dreams.

Nature’s bounty in the land of Kamchatka is simply astounding, full of contrasts and paradoxes, colors and landscapes. It is fickle. It is prized for its boundlessness. For the sensation of flying you get when visiting. For the chance to lose track of time. To forget about minutes, hours, and centuries. To see the planet as it was before humans existed. Kamchatka is eternally mysterious. Always different. One locale seems to transport you to Mars, while another takes you to the Alps. And on this breath-taking peninsula lives one of the largest natural populations of the brown bear. The romance of untrod paths beckons: paths through mountains, tundra, and even the sea. Everywhere here has its own special microclimate. Learn about Kamchatka, a place that calls to you again and again, on RTG’s Kamchatka, A Magical Attraction.
