About the place

Volcanoes, active trenches, and raw coastal waterways shape practical life across the peninsula.

Bordered by the Sea of Okhotsk to the west and the Bering Sea to the east, this peninsula spans active subduction zones and deep ocean trenches. The land supports dense wilderness, hot springs, glaciers, and marine ecosystems that function largely disconnected from overland transport grids.
