There’s a story today about a Russian expedition to search for the yeti in Siberia.

Siberia is a very big place. To get an idea of just how big think of Australia times about two. It is also a very sparsely populated place with a density of about three people per kilometre. As one can imagine, such a place would include natural areas that have hardly been seen by any humans and ground never walked upon by people. It is hardly surprising that such an environment wouldhold many secrets.

In the last four months alone in the Kemerovo district, in south-west Siberia, no less than twelve credible witnesses have insisted that they have seen a Yeti or Bigfoot type Snowman. The creatures were spotted in a mountainous area known as Azzaskoy Caves 60 km from Tashtagol town centre. This area is a wilderness, remote from any human settlement.

And at the German language blog, Sasquat.ch, there is an interview with Rick Noll. In it, Rick talks about the Skookum cast, among other things. The intro is in German, but the interview is in English, so don’t miss it.

LATE UPDATE: Loren Coleman thinks the yeti expedition story is bunk.

EXTREMELY LATE UPDATE: Coleman now seems to think it’s legit after receiving a link to a German publication that speaks of the expedition. There is a photo of what the writer calls a yeti footprint, but it is not impressive. You can see it, and the article translated into English on Cryptomundo here.
