Valley of Geysers, Kamchatka, Russia VR 360

Surprisingly, the Valley of Geysers — one of the most famous attractions of Kamchatka region — was discovered less than a hundred years ago.

It's worth mentioning that along with the Valley of Geysers, Kronotskiy Wildlife Refuge in Kamchatka is one of the oldest wildlife reserves in Russia dating back to 1882. However, it seems that its territory wasn't explored even after it was given a national status in 1934.

In the early to mid-nineteenth century scientists made long field trips, exploring unique local nature. In the spring of 1941 the legendary Kamchatka geologist Tatiana Ustinova and her assistant Anisifor Krupenin went to inspect the river on a dogsled.
