Mutnovsky, Active volcano in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia.
Mutnovsky is an active volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula formed by four merged volcanic cones that rise to 2,322 meters in elevation. The two main craters are each about 2 kilometers wide and display varying levels of volcanic activity.
The volcano experienced several phreatic eruptions during the 20th century, notably in 1960 and 1980, and formed a new crater in 2000. These eruptions continue to shape its structure and current behavior.
The place draws researchers from around the world who study volcanic processes and geothermal energy. Their presence shapes how people understand and engage with this active geological landscape today.
Access requires specialized off-road vehicles departing from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and visits must be arranged through guided tours. Prepare for harsh weather and rough terrain when planning a trip to this remote location.
A geothermal power plant operates in the northeastern section, using the volcano's heat to generate electricity. This facility demonstrates how the location's natural energy is put to practical use.
