Grzegorz Gawlik on different continents and in different climates. Among other things, he discovered the highest lakes in the world on the Ojos del Salado volcano and found that the highest active volcano in the world is Llullaillaco. In addition, he explored more than 100 other volcanic sites such as geyser fields, geothermal fields, volcanic caves, volcanic deserts, volcanic plateaus, volcanic craters and cones, volcanic rock formations, lava fields. He climbed to about 100 peaks 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-thousand meters in the Himalayas, Andes, Pamir, Caucasus, Cordillera, High Atlas, Tanzania, Borneo and hundreds of lower peaks. During the expeditions, Gawlik explored
