The Kamchatka Peninsula lies in easternmost Russia.
Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula is a land of superlatives. It is one of
the most volcanologically active regions on Earth. It has the
world's densest population of brown bears. Next to Yellowstone
National Park, it has the largest geyser field on the planet. The
list goes on. In this slide show, see what distinguishes this
California-sized dagger of land poking into the northwest Pacific
from anywhere else.
