Which peninsula is Russia’s far-eastern volcanic landmass, home to Klyuchevskaya Sopka?

The Kamchatka Peninsula is Russia’s far-eastern volcanic landmass and home to Klyuchevskaya Sopka.

It projects southward between the Bering Sea to the east and the Sea of Okhotsk to the west. The peninsula is part of Russia’s Kamchatka Krai and is separated from mainland Asia by the narrow isthmus connecting it to the broader Chukchi and Siberian regions.

Kamchatka is one of the world’s most active volcanic areas. The peninsula contains more than 300 volcanoes, about 29 of which are active, and several volcanoes are included in the UNESCO-listed Volcanoes of Kamchatka natural site.

Klyuchevskaya Sopka, also called Klyuchevskaya Volcano, is the highest active volcano in Eurasia. Kamchatka is also known for brown bears, salmon rivers and a largely wild, sparsely populated environment.
