Pauzhetka

Pauzhetka lies in a river valley at the northwestern foot of the Kambalny Range in southern Kamchatka. The Pauzhetka flows into the Ozernaya, while hot springs rise from the volcanic ground beside it. Steam, bubbling water and small muddy pools mark the thermal field. The eighteenth-century explorer Stepan Krasheninnikov described the hot waters flowing into the river during his travels through the peninsula.
