Renan Öztürk Instagram – The Kuril Islands, a teeming habitat for marine life and mesmerising active volcanoes.
There was nothing that could have prepared us for the unexpected journey of meeting Vladimir @bigdaddivladi, the marine mammal biologist who “hitch hiked” onto our boat the morning of departure. We went into this adventure thinking we would take photos and maybe climb a few walls. What ended up happening was the creation of the Kuril Islands Research and Conservation Initiative founded to help fund the important and under-supported data collection and science projects that Vladimir leads in this region.
