Krestovsky

Krestovsky stands at 4,108 meters as the highest summit of the Ushkovsky massif within the Eastern Range of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The geological formation of Krestovsky occurred through multiple eruption cycles, creating distinct layers of volcanic materials that built up over thousands of years.

Local indigenous communities of Kamchatka maintain traditional knowledge about the mountain's geological patterns and incorporate them into their seasonal activities.

Access to Krestovsky requires specialized mountaineering equipment and permits from local authorities due to its remote location and high elevation.

The volcanic structure contains both glacial features and thermal zones, creating a temperature gradient that supports different geological processes simultaneously.
