Kamchatka Peninsula, Volcanic peninsula in Far Eastern Russia
The peninsula extends 1,250 kilometers between the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Okhotsk, featuring 160 volcanoes and numerous thermal springs across its terrain.
Russian explorers first documented the peninsula in the 17th century, leading to extensive mapping expeditions and the establishment of settlements along its coastline.
Indigenous Koryak and Itelmen communities maintain traditional fishing and hunting practices while adapting to modern life in the challenging subarctic environment.
Visitors reach the peninsula through Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Airport, with summer offering optimal conditions for volcano hiking and wildlife observation from June to September.
The Valley of Geysers contains 90 geothermal springs that erupt with steaming water, making it the second largest concentration of geysers in the world.
