As you explore this remote region, you'll be captivated by its diverse features. A map of Siberia reveals the peninsula's strategic location between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. Aerial views showcase an awe-inspiring sight: towering volcanoes dominating the skyline. Among them are Tolbachik and Koryaksky volcanoes, which have shaped the dramatic topography of Kamchatka.
