Kamchatka Peninsula

The Kamchatka Peninsula is a large peninsula in the Russian Far East, extending south between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean and forming part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It holds one of the highest concentrations of active volcanoes on Earth, including Klyuchevskaya Sopka, the tallest active volcano in Eurasia, alongside geyser fields, hot springs and dense boreal forest. Its remoteness and volcanic terrain have left much of the peninsula sparsely populated and rich in wildlife, including large populations of brown bear and salmon.
