Volcanoes of Kamchatka
This is one of the most outstanding volcanic
regions in the world, with a high density of active volcanoes, a variety
of types, and a wide range of related features. The six sites included
in the serial designation group together the majority of volcanic
features of the Kamchatka peninsula. The interplay of active volcanoes
and glaciers forms a dynamic landscape of great beauty. The sites
contain great species diversity, including the world's largest known
variety of salmonoid fish and exceptional concentrations of sea otter,
brown bear and Stellar's sea eagle.
