Kamchatka
Steve and a team of world class kayakers head to Kamchatka in the Russian far east, to take on the first descent of the Kronotsky River – through white- water so extreme that it has never before been attempted.

Geological evidence suggests that at least 400km of tunnels lie beneath the rocky lava fields?above –?subterranean passageways which could contain the bones and artefacts from ancient civilisations. Only 25km of these lava tubes have ever been unexplored… until now.
