Klyuchevskoy nature park

Klyuchevskoy nature park is a protected area in Kamchatka featuring an active volcanic landscape. The park encompasses several volcanic peaks of varying heights alongside numerous glaciers that feed rivers and waterfalls throughout the region.

The region began attracting Russian explorers in the 17th century who documented its volcanic phenomena. Their investigations led to the establishment of research stations and ongoing scientific study of volcanic activity.

Indigenous Koryak and Itelmen communities maintain their traditions of sustainable living near the park, practicing seasonal hunting and fishing activities.

Access to the park is easiest through the villages of Klyuchi and Kozirevsk, both reachable from the regional capital. Visitors should expect remote conditions with basic facilities throughout the protected area.

The area is home to one of Eurasia's most active volcanoes, regularly releasing ash and lava that continuously reshape the landscape. This dynamic geological activity offers visitors the rare chance to observe volcanic processes in action.
