Kamchatka Krai

Centered on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Kamchatka Krai has developed into Russia’s expansive Pacific region of volcanoes, forests and remote coasts. Its western shore faces the Sea of Okhotsk, while the Pacific meets the east; between them, the Kamchatka River crosses a broad central valley. The territory lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire and includes Klyuchevskaya Sopka, Eurasia’s highest active volcano. The Volcanoes of Kamchatka are a UNESCO World Heritage property, reflecting the area’s exceptional concentration of active volcanoes and geothermal features. Koryak and Itelmen peoples are among the Indigenous communities whose traditions remain part of the peninsula’s identity.
