Peakware - Kamchatka
Kamchatka
The Kamchatka Peninsula forms a portion of the far east coast of Russia. The
Bering Sea separates Kamchatka from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The
peninsula is characterized by cold winters but comfortably cool, damp
summers with fog and drizzle. It is home to the Kamchatka chain, which
includes some of the most active volcanoes in the world. The most active
section of the chain is the Klyuchi group, in which of 12 volcanoes, four are
active. Most of the mountains are heavily glaciated, except for the most active
volcanoes, whose slopes are covered in cinder and/or new lava. The highest
peak of the chain is Klyuchevskaya Sopka (15,584 ft/ 4,750 m), the highest
volcano in Asia.

Peakware - Klyuchevskaya Sopka
Following the first ascent in 1788, no other ascents were recorded until 1931,
when several climbers were killed by flying lava as they descended. Similar
dangers exist today, and few ascents are made.

Peakware - Stanovoi Range
Stanovoi Range
The Stanovoi Range, sometimes spelled Stanovoy, is a 450-mile range that
runs southeastward along southeastern Russia to the Sea of Okhotsk. The
Stanovoi rises along the southern edge of the Aldan Plateau, marking the
southern boundary of the Yakut Autonomous Republic. It is the continuation of
the Yablonovyy Range, and the combined length of the two ranges is well over
one thousand miles, and forms a major watershed between the Pacific and the
Arctic Oceans. The Stanovoi is further continued by the Dzugdzhur Range,
which runs along the eastern coast. The Stanovoi's highest peak is Gora
Skalistyy Golets (Skalisty Mountain; 8143 ft./2482 m.), located near its eastern
terminus.

Peakware - Yablonovyy Range
Yablonovyy Range
The Yablonovyy Range is located in Southeastern Russia, where it extends to
the northeast from its starting point on the northern Mongolian border. The
mountains fill the region just east of Lake Baykal, Russia's largest lake. The
Yablonovyy forms an important divide between the Pacific and Arctic Oceans.
The range averages 4,000 to 5,000 feet, and just north of the Mongolian
border, the range rises to its highest point, Gora Burun Shibertuy (8,277 ft.). At
its northernmost point, the range is extended to the east by the Stanovoi
range. The two ranges combined stretch across well over 1,000 miles of
Russian countryside.
