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.
