Gorely, Active stratovolcano in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia
Gorely consists of five connected stratovolcanoes forming a massive structure with eleven craters along a northwest-southeast ridge within a 12-kilometer caldera.
The volcano underwent a transformation from a shield volcano to its current form through multiple explosive eruptions, creating a large caldera filled with craters.
The name Gorely translates from Russian as 'Burnt,' reflecting the extensive volcanic rock formations and lava flows that shape the landscape.
Visitors need to travel three hours from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on gravel roads to reach the volcano base at an elevation of 900 meters.
The Active Crater measures 250 by 100 meters with depths reaching 100 meters, releasing high-temperature gases that create visible phenomena in the atmosphere.
Elevation above the sea: 1,829 m
Part of: Eastern Range
