 The Geyser Valley was discovered only 60 years ago! This magnificent Valley is situated within the Kronotsky Preserve, a special nature preserve renowned the world over for its beauty and unique flora and fauna. Here you will see spectacular examples of hydrothermal activity - geysers and perpetual spouters, mud pots, thermopile algae, "dry" and liquid sulfur pools and slopes covered with geyserite sinters. The Valley of Geysers is hidden in one of the deep canyons of the Kronotsky Preserve, and is unseen from the rim.
