In Russia, you can find a huge number of volcanoes if you go on a tour of Kamchatka or Sakhalin. Are you ready to make beautiful shots and enjoy the beauty and power of nature? Then start making a route according to our recommendations.

Where are volcanoes in Russia

It may seem surprising, but the number of volcanoes in Russia is in the tens or even hundreds, depending on the regions. In total, there are three main groups of their location:

  • There are small groups of volcanoes on the territory of the Azov and Black Seas, Khabarovsk Territory, Caucasus, Primorsky Territory and Siberia.
  • There is a whole belt of hundreds of extinct and 30 active volcanoes on the coast of Kamchatka.
  • More than 160 volcanoes are located on the Kuril Islands – there are both underwater and surface volcanoes.
To go on a tour, it is enough to choose one of these regions and make up a route for the trip.

The highest peak not only in Russia, but also in Europe is Mount Elbrus, which is also a volcano. Despite the fact that the volcano has not erupted for about a thousand years, scientists do not call it extinct, and even on the contrary, they note that the temperature is rising, glaciers are melting on the mountain. To go on a trip, book a tour or find a hotel from where you can get to Elbrus.

There are also volcanoes on Lake Baikal. At first glance, the lake seems calm, but thermal springs are raging under the water. There are several other extinct volcanoes in the Baikal region: near the Baikal Ridge, in the Tunka Valley and on the Ushkany Islands.

Another location to visit is the Putorana Plateau. The territory of the plateau is basalt mountains, which were formed during the eruption of one of the most powerful volcanoes millions of years ago. Today, the plateau is one of the most picturesque places in Russia, which is definitely worth a visit.

And if volcanoes alone are not enough for you, choose one of the unusual locations from our selection and go on tour.
