Ushkovsky, Shield volcano in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia.

The Ushkovsky volcano rises to 3,943 meters above sea level, forming part of the extensive Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano group in eastern Russia.

The last recorded volcanic activity of Ushkovsky occurred in April 1890, marking over 130 years of dormancy in this geological formation.

The Kamchatka Peninsula's indigenous communities have maintained a deep connection with the volcanic landscape through generations of settlement and traditions.

Expeditions to Ushkovsky require specialized mountaineering equipment and guidance from local experts due to the challenging terrain and weather conditions.

The volcanic massif contains two distinct structures: the shield volcano Ushkovsky and the stratovolcano Krestovsky, reaching 4,108 meters in height.
