The Kamchatka peninsula
bristles with places of dizzying beauty, but unfortunately there is just
one place – and it is the Valley of Geysers – known for those people
who haven’t been to the peninsula that can be considered as one of the
most beautiful lands in the whole Russia. There is one unique place that
is being as good as the other nature sights of Kamchatka region and
located not far from the before-mentioned Valley of Geysers, and this
place is caldera of Uzon volcano. Today we will tell you about it.
Uzon caldera is the thing
that was left from a huge volcano destroyed by the series of volcanic
explosions that took place approximately 40,000 years ago. The height of
the former volcano was about 3000 meters (10,000 feet), that’s what
volcanologists say. At present, the caldera looks like a flat-bottomed
punchbowl, 10 kilometers (6,5 miles) in diameter. These steep edges
200-900 meters high (650-3000 feet) are half-destroyed walls of the
ancient volcano.
But what’s really tempts
tourists from all over the world to come there are hydrothermal activity
developments: hot pools, boiling mud pools, hot wells and mud
volcanoes. Moreover, all these things are found side by side with
opulent vegetation and seaweeds of extraordinary colors.
This lake has a weird name – Chloride lake. It is forbidden to swim in there.
Hot wells have such a remarkable coloring because of bacteria colonies and peculiar seaweeds that are able to live in hot water.
This is a pulsating hot spring. And again it has such a coloring because of mineral deposits and different bacteria.
These are so-called mud pools. Mud boils in there and sometimes bubbles crop up there because of gas contained.
One of the thermal fields
with steam outlets. By the way, soil at the thermal fields is always
snowless and well-heated so that it is covered with a thick layer of
greenery year-round.
Water in some lakes is harmless for man so you can swim in there and enjoy hot water with plenty of minerals.
Due to its shape such a discharge of hot water is often called as kettle.
All the routes at the caldera are fitted out with timber flooring. One wrong step – and you are already burnt out.
