The Valley of Geysers

The Valley of Geysers is a geyser field on Kamchatka Peninsula. It has the second-largest concentration of geysers in the world. This six-kilometre-long basin with approximately ninety geysers and many hot springs is situated on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, predominantly on the left bank of the ever-deepening Geysernaya River, into which geothermal waters flow from a relatively young stratovolcano, Kikhpinych.
