The area of Russia that is volcanically active is the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia is one of the most outstanding regions with volcanic activity in the world, in which there are large volcanic belts including around 160 volcanoes.

Nowadays, there are 29 active volcanoes.

The vigorous volcanism on Kamtchatka is produced by the subduction of the Pacific plate under the E margin of the Eurasian plate.

The most active volcanoes on Kamchatka are Karymsky, Bezymianny, Klyuchevsky, and Shiveluch.
