I would like to write about Kronotsky Nature Reserve. It makes up one of Russia's oldest protected areas and is located on the Kamchatka Peninsula bordering the Pacific Ocean. It is home to waterfalls, the Valley of Geysers, thermal lakes and Kronotsky, an active volcano of the same name. Due to its often harsh climate and its mix of volcanoes and geysers, it is frequently described as the Land of Fire and Ice. The only geyser field area in Eurasia, the Valley of Geysers, is one of the official Seven Wonders of Russia. The reserves area exceeds that of the famous geyser fields in Iceland many times over. More than 750 plant species grow in the reserve and it's also a home for over 800 brown bears. Currently Kronotsky is mainly accessible only to scientists but tourists can travel around reserve by a helicopter.
