The Volcanos of Kamchatka Peninsula

Kamchatka Peninsula, peninsula in far eastern Russia, lying between the Sea of Okhotsk on the west and the Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea on the east. It is about 750 miles (1,200 km) long north-south and about 300 miles (480 km) across at its widest; its area is approximately 140,000 square miles (370,000 square km). Two mountain ranges, the Sredinny (“Central”) and Vostochny (“Eastern”), extend along the peninsula and rise to 15,584 feet (4,750 metres) in Klyuchevskaya Volcano.
Kliuchevskaya, active volcano of the Kamchatka Peninsula, far eastern Russia. It is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world, rising to a height of 15,584 feet (4,750 m), the highest point on the peninsula.

Amazing video. Those two brothers going in that crater are really brave wow . These scientists and pilots hats off to them

[@alaskaboomer6143]

All I can say is WOW and thank you to everyone involved in putting this together.

[@dba750]

It's over a decade old

[@intanbaharuddin2703]

❤Thanks ....great job 😊being a volcanologist ain't easy 😊

[@elliote2971]

I started exploring this region in Google Maps years ago, only to see the first video glimpse of it now. A truly fascinating spot, even from satellite images.

[@josephcrowe2908]

Outstanding documentary. Did not know about this volcano chain. Praise to the brave scientists that went to this volatile environment.

[@brunojm7282]

Excellent! Well done NHK, team of volcanologists and pilots

[@chuanwu6118]

so striking. Salute to the camera crew and scientists and tour guides.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

Wow... I had never seen anything about this region at all. Excellent documentary. Beautiful peninsula, very dangerous and volcanically active.

[@DavidTa2]

Just about to start my next Google Earth destination thanks to this video! I had no idea it was so volcano laden😅! I assumed it had volcanoes as it is along the "Ring of Fire". The extent though! Mind boggling.

[@rmf9567]

​@@DavidTa2when I started traveling up and down the West Coast of United States and Canada it was also mind boggling the amount of volcano's. I think the United States has the most and pretty high up on the list for the most active

[@gisellebryan6457]

Love the music

[@carolynallisee2463]

I got a bit cross with the narrator repeatedly stating lava was a constituent of pyroclastic flows. It isn't. Gas is, ash is, pumice and blocks of solidified lava from the disrupted dome is, but not molten lava. That's why it's called a pyroclastic flow rather than a lava flow! That out of the way, I noticed something else about the pyroclastic flow deposits. There seems to be quite a bit of something called 'hummocky terrain' on the way to the volcano, though quite an amount of it had been buried under the flow deposits. Shiveluch has, at some time in geologically recent times, undergone flank collapses and landslides, may be a number of them. That, combined with an active lava dome, would be particularly concerning to the team.

[@michaelemory552]

I’ve watched a lot of volcano stuff - haven’t we all… and hiked a few including Etna. This footage gives a great sense of the amount of material ejected as the mountain makes itself and land about. Going that far into the crater and to the fumerol and playing with it, they may have not made it out.

Excellent work by all involved. These amazing efforts save lives. I love the way the narrator quietly celebrates the brothers who get to the fumarole..."they made it." The fumarole's noise and activity is completely spellbinding.

Can't really appreciate the size of the fumarole without the scientist standing next to it. It's HUGE!.

[@user-mu9ot4jg1g]

Мне посчастливилось не только повидать, но и походить по этой красоте. Полтора года ходил по тайге, такого берёзового сока вы ни где не изо пьете, таких грибов не найдете. По сопкам, по зарыб ленным холодным ре чушкам, ходил на вулканы, Авваченский, Козельский, Корякский. Мне приходилось ходить по тайге в Хабаровском крае, колесил сопки, ходил по дремучей тайге в Коми, ходить по тайге. Ханты Мансийску , но такой природы не встречал как на Камчатке. Мне уж скоро семьдесят. А вспомнить есть о чем. - Творение природы.

Wonderful! But volcanologists are nuts! Let's wrap some cloth around our feet, pull on boots, hike and abseil down into an active volcano and stand on a little gravel over red-hot rocks, and for fun, toss a rock into a vent and watch the volcano throw it back! Just wow!

[@wayneparkinson4558]

When you watch a program about russian issues the first thing you notice is the antiquated infrastructure technology it looks like mid 20 th century but my guess is that the scientist probable spend more time in the field than sat behind a desk on computer modelling scenario's

[@johnharrington110]

What was the name of that funeral? It was spelled differently twice in the video's closed captioning. Please help. Thanks for this awesome production. These brothers are crazy brave!

[@johnharrington110]

I was only able to go by what I heard in the narration and have since solved my query. They're fumaroles...not funerals...which the dictated pronounciation sounded like...duh! I should have known better.

[@bobvila4381]

Good one!

[@realnutteruk1]

I've just watched a video by Rocket Lab, where they put two satellites in orbit to monitor Atlantic hurricanes, with two more to follow in a couple of weeks.... If the satellites' orbit takes them over Kamchatka, then surely they could be using their IR monitoring kit to keep track of of magma flow in the area?

[@gabyherrmann9894]

The permanent embers fire stove of our planet. Thanks for the science work.

Crazy it is now erupting quite heavily. And also signs of a greater eruption possibility in next days are present.

[@robertko5425]

Again - Like John Nobile once wrote on his Lonely Planet publications almost 30 years ago is that Kamchatka is a very hyperactive location and that creation is still an ongoing process here, thus all of the volcanism with 27 active volcanoes in that area, along with the nearby Kuril Islands. He also stated that the North American Plate is colliding with the North Eurasian Plate near the Kamchatka Peninsula which is causing the very high amount of earthquakes in this area. He must have visited Kamchatka many, many times to state this.

This region considered where the true kings on earth lives....volcanoes

This is super interesting, and I so want to watch it all, but the dramatic music and commenting is nauseating! I gave ut at 11:26. If anyone can assure me that it becomes bearable later on, I will give it a second attempt.

[@jp-um2fr]

There was no need for the over dramatisation, but those scientists were obviously stark raving mad. All credit to them if the data was worth it.

So what is your point

[@alienpov]

The music is annoying.

[@prototropo]

At 20:00, red balloons (red = very hot!) seem to appear magically, for some reason physically disconnected from the sub-ducted plate, and then rise (wheee!) like helium pillows to some arbitrary spot and just stop (where the . . ?), as if waiting for a choreographer to (wink, wink, remember, you promised if . . ?) say "Well, blow your top! Time is money!" What we see during the portentous narration isn't even as convincing as the Saturday morning cartoons kids get these days. But this is year 2023, and, well, considering that rural electrification is in the rear-view mirror, how could no-one find a more realistic CGI graphic for the magma lakes to pool, and their flues to form? The rinky-dink production quality is quite jarring after watching the world's brightest, bravest geotectonic researchers deploy the most advanced post-mechanical technology to risk their lives and gather utterly fresh data for the erudite enlightenment of a highly literate, citizen-scientist world. The visuals are so far from the stentorian gravity of "Mr. Narrator for July," that we're in greater danger of death by implosive implausibility than by three or four apple-colored pillow-bonk owies.
