MUTNOVSKY VOLCANO CLIMB (1 DAY)
Mutnovskiy Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes of Kamchatka. Due to its unusual shape any person can climb up to the crater and observe all the action: fumaroles, steam emissions, mud pots, etc. The magnificent volcanic landscape leaves a long-lasting impression on every participant of the tour.
The Mutnovskiy volcanic array is formed by four cones of a stratovolcano. The eastern part of the Mutnovskiy array is a cone-in-cone structure volcano and the northern part of it which has a young volcanic cone is partly destroyed. The active funnel is embedded in the western edge of the main crater of the Mutnovskiy volcano. The funnel has an oval shape measuring approximately 440 x 100 meters and 180 meters deep.
