The Kamchatsky Peninsula, a mountainous region in northeastern Russia on the Bering Sea, is part of the Ring of Fire, the string of volcanoes that encircle the Pacific. Sixty-eight active volcanoes provide outstanding opportunities for exploration and adventure. Visitors might soak in the hot springs, soar over the volcanoes via helicopter, see the Valley of the Geysers or discover Nalichevsky Nature Park. Petropavlovsk offers trekkers a comfortable place from which to launch their expeditions.
