🌋 Kamchatka is home to 300 volcanoes, 29 of which are active. The most famous of these is Klyuchevskaya Sopka, which at an impressive 4,750 metres is the highest active volcano in Eurasia.

💧 Kamchatka is famous for its unique geysers. The Geyser Valley is one of the most amazing places in Russia and the world. This small area is impressively rich in hot springs.

🐻 The region’s diverse nature supports a variety of ecosystems and wildlife, including brown bears, bighorn sheep, reindeer and sea lions. Kamchatka bears are particularly large and numerous.

🐟 Kamchatka has earned a reputation as the salmon capital of the world, with its rivers and lakes teeming with this type of fish. Every year millions of salmon come to spawn, making it Russia's largest fishing centre.

🏞 Kamchatka is proud of its many nature reserves, which cover almost 30 per cent of its total area. The most famous of these are the Kronotsky Nature Biosphere Reserve and the South Kamchatka Federal Game Reserve, both of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

🌿 Kamchatka is also famous for its rich flora. Forty rare and endangered plant species are found around mineral hot springs and fumaroles, four of which are endemic to Kamchatka.
