February 01, 2026 • Jeremy Pendrey • Episode 72

Seismologist Harry Kuril joins Jeremy to talk about Harry's thru hike of the Transcaucasian Trail through the countries of Armenia and Georgia in the South Caucasus. On this epic adventure along a newly-developed long-distance trail, hikers cross forest, mountains, canyons, pastoral lands, farms, local villages, and cultural heritage sites. The South Caucasus are a fascinating crossroads between Europe and Asia, and there is an extensive human history in the region.
