Extract

The peninsula of Kamchatka in Siberia is situated between the Sea of Okhotsk on the west and Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean on on the east. This peninsula is about 750 miles long and 80 to 300 miles wide with a mountainous and volcanic interior and a somewhat severe climate. Forests cover all the land except where there are areas of tundra or alpine vegetation.
