A volcano in Karelia has become accessible to tourists.
The Vario volcano dates back to the Paleoproterozoic era — a period of intense volcanic activity in the territory of Karelia. Its distinguishing feature is the unique structure of the volcanic edifice, which preserves traces of underwater eruptions. Geological surveys were carried out here during the Soviet period, but in the post-Soviet era the site fell into neglect.
Previously it was inaccessible to tourists due to the lack of safe routes and viewing platforms, the risk of collapses on the mountain slopes, the need for archaeological work, and difficulties with logistics and transport, writes the portal karelinform.ru.
The creation of the ethnographic park required large-scale landscaping and slope stabilization work, as well as the development of educational programs. Visiting the park is paid; a system of concessions is provided. Organizers recommend checking the ethnopark’s official resources for detailed information on opening hours and ticket prices.
The opening of such sites is especially valuable for scientific and educational tourism. Interestingly, more than 40 paleovolcanoes have been identified in Karelia, but only a few are accessible to visitors. Vario may become the beginning of a new tourist route to the region’s geological monuments.

A volcano in Karelia has become accessible to tourists.
The ethnopark "Vulkan Vario" has opened on Mount Yalgora in Karelia, located on the slopes of one of the planet's oldest volcanoes. This geological formation, about 2.2 billion years old, had been closed to visitors since 2012 due to the area's inaccessibility and lack of necessary infrastructure.
