The Kamchatka Peninsula is a long peninsula in Russia, with an area of 182,400 sq miles. It lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk.
Also know as the Commander Islands, and Karaginsky Island constitute the Kamchatka Krai of the Russian Federation (RF). The peninsula contains the Volcanoes of Kamchatka, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kamchatka receives up to 2,700 mm of precipitation per year. The summers are moderately cool, and the winters tend to be rather stormy with rare amounts of lightning.
Argubably one of the most attracting and intersting in natural wonders around the globe. Its efficient arrays of Volcanic Symbolism makes it stormy in winters. For me this should be classed as one of the wonders of the World.
