Kronotsky Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Kamchatka Krai, Russia.
The reserve extends over 10,990 square kilometers along the eastern coast, containing 25 volcanoes, thermal lakes, and numerous geysers within its boundaries.
Established in 1934, the area began as a protected sable territory in 1882, when local residents were first employed to safeguard the wildlife.
Scientists conduct research in various fields including volcanology, geology, and wildlife studies, making it a center for natural science investigations.
Visitors need to arrange helicopter tours that cost approximately 700 dollars per day due to the remote location and strict access regulations.
The Valley of Geysers features ninety active geysers, including the Velikan Geyser which releases water 25 meters high every six hours.

This collection brings together major technical achievements that have marked the history of modern engineering. From the Hoover Dam on the Colorado, built in 1936 to produce hydroelectric power, to the ITER nuclear fusion project in France, which represents the future of energy research, these structures exemplify human boldness and skill. Each structure serves a specific purpose: crossing natural obstacles like the Brooklyn Bridge, connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn since 1883, facilitating maritime trade with the Panama Canal between the Atlantic and Pacific, or pushing height limits with the Burj Khalifa at 828 meters. These achievements are visited around the world and often offer remarkable experiences. The Eiffel Tower welcomes 7 million visitors each year who ascend to discover Paris from its 324-meter height. Shanghai's Maglev allows travel at 430 kilometers per hour thanks to magnetic levitation. The Millau Viaduct crosses the Tarn Valley at 343 meters above sea level over 2,460 meters in length. These engineering landmarks invite understanding of how industrial architecture has shaped our modern world, combining functional necessity with technical prowess that continues to fascinate visitors worldwide.
