Kell

Kell is a small stratovolcano in Kamchatka Peninsula that rises to about 900 meters within the Prizrak caldera. Its steep slopes are carved by numerous erosional valleys that cut deeply through the volcanic structure.

The volcano was first identified in 1946 during an aerial survey mission and subsequently recorded in scientific documentation. This early discovery led to its inclusion in geological records of the region.

The native communities of Kamchatka Peninsula maintain traditional connections to the volcanic lands surrounding Kell through generations of settlement.

Access to the volcano requires special permits due to its location within a protected nature reserve. Visitors should be prepared for rough terrain, cold climate, and limited infrastructure.

The volcanic complex features three nested calderas arranged in concentric patterns, each ranging from 3 to 5 kilometers in diameter. This layered structure tells the story of multiple eruptive episodes in the volcano's past.
