Kuril Lake, a nature reserve, is a caldera and crater lake in Kamchatka. The lake was formed about 8,000 years ago as a result of a series of enormous volcanic explosions which shook southern Kamchatka. Today, Kuril Lake is the second largest freshwater reservoir in Kamchatka. It covers 77 square kilometers. In 1998, Kuril Lake had the highest density of brown bears of Kamchatka, and possibly of the entirety of Russia.
