Avachinsky, Active volcano in Kamchatka Krai, Russia
Avachinsky rises 2,741 meters above sea level, featuring a conical shape with a horseshoe-shaped caldera formed by ancient landslides.
The volcano has recorded at least 16 significant eruptions since 1737, including a major event in 1945 that expelled approximately 0.25 cubic kilometers of magma.
Local indigenous communities of Kamchatka Peninsula incorporate the mountain into their traditional stories and consider it a sacred natural monument.
The mountain offers established hiking routes accessible from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, with guided tours available during summer months between June and September.
Scientists monitor the volcano's numerous fumaroles near the summit, which emit gases at temperatures exceeding 400 degrees Celsius.
