Kamtchatka Coast

The eastern shore of Kamchatka faces the North Pacific and the Bering Sea. The peninsula's Eastern Range, with its volcanoes and glaciers, rises behind a coast cut by deep bays. The Kamchatka River reaches the sea in Kamchatka Gulf, carrying water from the broad valley between the peninsula's mountain ranges. Farther south lie the great bays of Kronotsky and Avacha.
