Valley of Geysers in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia<\/p><\/div>\n

One of Russia\u2019s Seven Wonders, Valley of the Geysers<\/strong>\u00a0is the second largest geyser field in the world, with about 90 geysers in the 6 kilometer basin. Visitors to the Valley of Geysers experience the undisturbed nature of a region inaccessible by car. The geysers are part of a wildlife reserve, and visitors are likely to see a variety of creatures during their time at the geysers.<\/p>\n

The geysers are a result of geothermic activity, which also causes the nearby volcanoes. Some of the geysers have been named; for instance, Velikan, meaning Giant geyser, shoots up to 40 meters into the air.<\/p>\n

Visiting the Valley is filled with perils and it is evident in the introduction at the entrance to the valley that states, \u201cEach person getting to the Valley of Geysers for the first time, experiences its hypnotic power. The head is spinning with surprise and amazement. But the Valley of Geysers does not forgive heedlessness, and collects an annual tribute of scalded extremities.\u201d
\nThe Valley of Geysers has suffered several damages and losses. On October 4, 1981, Typhoon Elsa brought heavy rains flooding the river Geysernaya. Thus big boulders from the swelled stream damaged everything that came in their way. This caused the collapse of Geyser Bolshaya Pechka (Big Oven) and damaged Source Malakhitovi Grot (Malachite Grotto).<\/p>\n

On June 3, 2007, a mudslide caused damage to the Valley of Geysers. Still, the Valley is active and alive. Due to its remote location, the Valley receives very less tourists.<\/p>\n
