Kambalny

Kambalny rises 2,156 meters above sea level, featuring a summit crater and five cinder cones that generate lava flows on its flanks.

Three major collapses occurred around 6,300 years ago, resulting in landslides extending 20 kilometers and moving between 5 to 10 cubic kilometers of material.

Local communities in the Kamchatka region include the volcano in their traditional narratives, reflecting their connection to the natural landscape.

Scientists and researchers monitor the volcano's geothermal field, which produces 320 megawatts of energy across three distinct sectors.

The 2017 eruption marked the first volcanic activity since 1769, releasing ash clouds that affected air traffic patterns over the Pacific Ocean.
