Kronotsky

The symmetrical cone of this 3521-meter basalt volcano rises from the Eastern Range mountains of Kamchatka to the Pacific Ocean shore point.

The last recorded eruption of Kronotsky occurred in 1923, following centuries of volcanic activity that shaped the surrounding geological formations.

The indigenous people of Kamchatka regard this volcano as a natural monument, incorporating its presence into their traditional stories and beliefs.

Visitors need permits to enter the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, and access remains limited to specific seasons due to weather conditions.

The summit crater contains both a volcanic neck and a glacier, creating an exceptional combination of geological features at high altitude.
