Astronaut Anton Shkaplerov captured from ISS Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. On July 30, 2025, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck off Russia’s sparsely populated Far East, sending tsunami waves into Japan, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. Several people were injured, but none gravely.
Located in the Russian Far East, this peninsula has a landscape covered with volcanoes due to its location along the highly active Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’. There are about 160 volcanoes on the peninsula, 29 of which are still active. The highest volcano is Klyuchevskaya Sopka (4,835m), which erupted 50 times in the past 300 years.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
