"Mini Valley of geysers" is what residents of Kamchatka call the Suburban thermal springs located 80 km south of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the opposite shore of Avacha Bay. The springs are located in a small ravine at the foot of Rocky Hill to the north of the Mutnovsky volcano in the immediate vicinity of the Mutnovskaya geothermal power plant. The station is located at around 780 m and is a unique landmark in itself.
The fumarole field of the "Mini Valley of Geysers" is the site of the most powerful heat removal from the depths of the vast Mutnovsky hydrothermal basin. Boiling and pulsating springs, mud cauldrons and fumaroles (hot volcanic gas and steam outlets in the form of jets) are scattered in groups along the slopes and ravines for more than a kilometer. A piece of summer awaits you among the snow-white winter kingdom: a fantastic feeling of swirling steam, fountains gushing from the ground and bright colors of the surrounding landscape. This is the "Kamchatka pole of snow" and the snowiest region of Russia: the thickness of the snow cover here is more than 2500 mm, in the valleys – more than 3000 mm.
The road to the Summer springs passes through the picturesque snow-covered valley of the Paratunka River, through the Vilyuchinsky pass, from where, from an altitude of 825 meters above sea level, a fascinating view opens onto the Vilyuchinsky volcano, the active Mutnovsky volcano, and the panorama of the Gorely volcano caldera. On the observation deck you will be greeted by three wooden idols - "spirits of volcanoes" - gamuls, guarding the Vilyuchinsky pass. (Walking distance to the "Mini Valley" is 100 m).
We'll stop for lunch and a snack on the way.
Moving to the Dangerous Canyon, photo shoot.
