What is a pattern break? This is an action that is not expected of you. When instead of the Maldives or Sochi you go to see the volcanoes, the land is wild, harsh, but beautiful. The best option for this is Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands. Where else can you walk on hot lava? To climb to the volcano not along cultivated footpaths, but along the slope, and then descend into the very mouth of the volcano?
Volcanoes are real wonders of nature. To see them, you have to go not to the south, but to the east - to Kamchatka and Sakhalin. These are the recognized leaders of the country in volcanic activity, of course. The vast majority of Russian volcanoes are located in the Kamchatka Territory - about 120, in the Sakhalin Region there are over 50 magma outcrops. The figures are not final, new ones are formed in these regions every year.
Most of them are considered dangerous or potentially dangerous. But not only scientists or climbers go there. Many people are striving for unprecedented sensations and adrenaline today. And they get it all in full. The stunning beauty of Kamchatka, with geysers, volcanic lakes, the ocean, not frightened bears, energy, and spaciousness attracts. Just like the unique nature of the Kuriles, with hot mineral springs and waterfalls.
But you go there not only for beauty and photographs. Impressions will remain forever because in these regions a person tests himself for strength. And everyone needs such a test, at least once in their life. So, let's choose a volcano!
Top 7 dangerous volcanoes in Russia
Koryakskaya Sopka included in the list of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, along with such celebrities as Vesuvius. The reason is not only recent activity, the main thing is the proximity to the settlement. It is located next to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and is considered the most recognizable landscape of the city. Although not all townspeople were able to visit it. The seemingly accessible top requires good athletic training and special equipment. In short, not for walking.
Klyuchevskaya Sopka - the highest active volcano in Eurasia, 4750 meters. The volcano recently confirmed its activity: in April last year, lava poured from the crater. The eruption gained strength by February of this year. While scientists were discussing who to name the volcanic breakthrough, and the Emergencies Ministry warned about the dangers of visiting Klyuchevskaya Sopka, extreme tourists were found who fried sausages right on the solidifying lava of the volcano. They immediately shared a photo of the culinary action in social networks. Now Klyuchevskaya Sopka is still smoking, making it clear that it is ready for new surprises.
Ebeko took over the baton from Klyuchevskaya Sopka. This complex, and one of the most active stratovolcano in the Kuril Islands "gave out" the first two-kilometer column of ash in February of this year. For aviation, a yellow hazard level was declared, and the attraction of the island of Paramushir continued to gain strength. In April, the column of ash from Ebeko reached a height of 3 km, in May - 2.5 km.
Karymskaya Sopka, a very active Kamchatka volcano, still holds the "record" of the current year. In April, he threw out a column of ash 8.5 km high. In general, the volcano is considered to be hyperactive. Compared to Klyuchevskaya Sopka, it is too small, but the level of danger is one of the highest. Moreover, waking up, Karymskaya volcano wakes up all the neighboring volcanoes.
Shiveluch Is the northernmost of the Kamchatka volcanoes and is also very active. The last ash ejection from it was recorded in October last year, its height reached 5.5 km.
Sarychev Peak is located on a deserted Kuril island, therefore, despite its temperament, it poses no danger to the inhabitants. The last large-scale eruption, in 2009, impressed the whole world. It was filmed by astronauts from the ISS. The ash ejection height reached 16 km. In February of this year, the volcano began to smoke again, reminding of its capabilities.
Kizimen last erupted in 2009. However, this had considerable consequences for Kamchatka. Ashes covered a significant part of the biosphere reserve, and some springs have become active in the valley of geysers.
These are only 7 of the many volcanoes in the Far East. No words will convey their beauty, greatness, inaccessibility. This is a must see.
We live like on a volcano - an expression that has become commonplace. Surely those who have never come close to any of the places where the inner strength of our planet emerges say so. Maybe it's time to go?
