Kamchatka is not in Siberia. Welcome to Kamchatka, a peninsula in the Russian Far East along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a chain of volcanoes arching from Japan, to Kamchatka, and Alaska. On maps, Kamchatka resembles a giant fish swimming in the ocean. It is located nine time zones east of Moscow and is cut off from the mainland by mountains and the lack of road access. The Peninsula is 1200 kilometers long and 450 km wide at it's widest. Two thirds of it is covered with mountains that run in 2 big parallel ranges from north to south. This land constantly "breathes," out of about 160 volcanoes, 29 are active - 10% of the world's active volcanoes. Nearly any skyline on Kamchatka includes a view of a volcano or mountain. There are about 414 glaciers, over 14,000 rivers and creeks, many lakes. Among 200 healing mineral springs, 150 are hot. Kamchatka is a land of snow capped volcanoes, boiling mud pots, crater lakes, blossoming flowers, and park-like stone birch forests.
