Udina

Udina is a volcanic complex on the Kamchatka Peninsula formed by two stratovolcanoes that stand side by side. The pair creates a distinctive mountain formation in this geologically active area.

The southwestern slope of the larger volcano was long considered dormant until seismic signals detected in recent years revealed underlying activity. This discovery changed the scientific understanding of the entire complex.

The Udina volcano belongs to the Volcanoes of Kamchatka UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the geological heritage of the Russian Far East.

Access to this volcanic complex is challenging and requires climbing experience and proper preparation. Visitors should contact local tour operators who arrange expeditions to this remote region.

The southern peak displays multiple lava domes across its slopes, while the northern peak features a large lava dome on its southwestern side. These contrasting structures give each volcano its own distinctive character.
