Description
About Kamchatka
Kamchatka is one of the most fascinating regions of all. With an area of 470,000 sq. km, Kamchatka Peninsula separates the Sea of Okhotsk from the Pacific Ocean. River valleys teeming with fish and white capped mountain ranges stretching along the peninsula from North to South are interrupted only by the 300 volcanoes (29 of them are active) that dot the eastern side of the peninsula. There is a multitude of thermal and mineral springs, geysers and other phenomena of active vulcanism. Kronotsky and Kurilskoe are two of the major lakes in the area, both highly scenic and important fish spawning habitat. Other geomorphological phenomena can be observed, including volcanic accumulation and erosion, inter-mountain hollows, foothills and piedmont plains as well as coastal lowlands. The Uzona Caldera is large volcanic bowl that occupies nearly 30 square kilometers with sides rising up to 900m. The Valley of the Geysers is an outstanding natural phenomena with numerous hot geysers and springs
Amidst this pristine nature, natural wonders abound. With her valleys of gaseous geysers, volcanic calderas, crater lakes, stone sculpture "parks" (the natural by-product of ancient eruptions), geothermal hot springs, and mountain glaciers, Kamchatka has truly earned the title "The Land of Fire and Ice".
Some anthropologists believe that people migrated from Asia to North America as long as 40,000 years ago. Others argue it was as recent as 15,000 years ago.
