Extreme Storm Events on Oktyabr’skaya Spit

Abstract

Extreme storm events occur on Oktyabr’skaya spit (Kamchatka) every year and destroy the only road connecting Oktyabr’skii village with the mainland. 30.11.2011 and 2.04.2012 we had a unique possibility to be on the spit at
 the time of such events. Significant geomorphic change occurred and the road was damaged. We documented the processes, as well as the effects.
