Ust-Kamchatsk

Ust-Kamchatsk stands at the mouth of the Kamchatka River, with the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano rising 50 kilometers away from its harbor.

The settlement originated in 1731 as Ust-Primorsky, later receiving its current name in 1890 and transforming from an urban-type settlement to a rural locality in 2007.

The port settlement maintains traditional fishing practices, with local residents contributing to the regional maritime economy through fish processing and sea trade activities.

The settlement contains a functioning airport, established in 1937, connecting the remote location to other parts of the Kamchatka region throughout the year.

The location experiences maritime-influenced subarctic conditions, resulting in temperatures 27 degrees Celsius warmer in January compared to the regional capital of Yakutsk.
