Kamchatka is a peninsula in the north-east of Eurasia, situated on the territory of Russia. Kamchatka is washed by the Sea of Okhotsk in the west and the Bering Sea in the east. Kamchatka extends from the north-east to the south-west over 1200 km. It is connected with the mainland by a narrow isthmus (up to 93 km) called Parapolsky Dol. The maximum width of the peninsula (up to 450 km) is the width of Cape Kronotsky. The total area of Kamchatka is 472.3 sq km.

Relief. The eastern coast of the peninsula is strongly indented, which forms large bays – Kronotsky, Kamchatsky, Ozernoi, Karaginsky and Korfa – as well as small bays, such as Avachinskaya, Karaga, Ossora, Anastasiya, Buyan, Vilyuchinskaya, Kommandor, Listvennichnaya, Medvezhka, Morzhovaya and Yuzhno-Glubokaya. A string of rocky peninsulars – Shipunsky, Kronotsky, Kamchatsky and Ozernoi – go far out into the sea.

Mountain Ranges. The middle range that extends to the north-east traverses the whole of Kamchatka from the Plotnikova River to the northern extremity of the peninsular. Its highest peak is Ichinsky volcano, 3,621 m. The eastern range begins at about the same latitude as the middle range and extends to the north up to the Ozernoi peninsular (on the eastern coast). It consists of a large string of smaller ridges. The Ganalsky ridge is an extremely dissected mountain plexus of the peninsular – the watershed zone rises to a height of about 2,000 m and more almost all along its length. Further to the north lies the Valaginsky ridge. Even more northward, there is a ridge called Tumrok. The northern extremity of the eastern range is called the Kumroch ridge. It is its lowest part – most of the peaks there hardly reach 1,000 m.

Rivers. There are over 6,000 large and small rivers flowing on the territory of Kamchatka – the Zhupanova, the Bystraya (Malkinskaya), the Kol, the Karymchina, the Levaya Avacha, the Opala, the Pymta, the Elovka, the Tigil, the Pravaya Avacha, the Bystraya (Essovskaya) and the Levaya Shchapina.
