Mountain climbing trip

From Memories of Stas Ionov

by Pavel Ionov

This is a picture from the mountain climbing trip to Caucasus Mountains that Stas took me on. This is the only picture from the trip that I have and Stas is not in it, since he took it. I like the picture, since it shows two of his backpacking buddies: Max (left) - a white water expert, and Andre Geim (right) - a mountaineering expert. I am not sure what became of Max, but Andre Geim teaches physics in University of Manchester now and recently won the Ig Nobel Prize in physics for levitating a frog.
