The island of Onekotan is a volcanic island within the Ring of Fire in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. Due to the extreme weather conditions the island has not been inhabited for a long time. Its fascination is increased by the two active volcanoes on the island, one of which situated in a spectacular circular lake. These characteristics were more than sufficient to convince Matthias Haunholder and Matthias Mayr to set off to fulfil a dream: to cross the island of Onekotan on skis, but first a long year of preparation will be necessary for the feat, during which it will become clear why there are no inhabitants on the island.
