Volcanoes of Kamchatka | John Seach
The volcanoes of Kamchatka are found in one of the most outstanding volcanic regions in the world with both a high density of active volcanoes, a variety of types, and a wide range of related volcanic features. The volcanoes of Kamchatka are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Kamchatka peninsula contains more than 80 volcanoes with an underlying subduction zone. The region is characterised by strong earthquake activity with the majority of earthquakes occur 60–100 km offshore.
Major eruptions in Kamchatka have a disproportional effect on global climate, due to the low troposphere elevation at these latitudes, and the ease of dispersal of ash, aerosol, and gas.
