Kamchatka Krai, Administrative division in Far Eastern Russia.
The Kamchatka Peninsula forms the majority of this territory, featuring over 300 volcanoes between the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea.
The formation of Kamchatka Krai occurred in 2007 through the merger of Kamchatka Oblast and Koryak Autonomous Okrug following a regional referendum.
The region maintains protected territories spanning 14.5 percent of its area, including federal reserves where scientists conduct research on natural phenomena.
The territory contains substantial fishing grounds, mineral deposits, and forest resources, with Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky serving as the administrative center.
Mount Kluchevskaya stands as the highest active volcano in Eurasia, while Kronotsky Nature Reserve holds Russia's single geyser basin.
