Volcanoes of Kamchatka
This is one of the most outstanding volcanic regions in the world, with a high density of active volcanoes, a variety of types, and a wide range of related features. The six sites included in the serial designation group together the majority of volcanic features of the Kamchatka peninsula. The interplay of active volcanoes and glaciers forms a dynamic landscape of great beauty. The sites contain great species diversity, including the world's largest known variety of salmonoid fish and exceptional concentrations of sea otter, brown bear and Stellar's sea eagle.

Вулканы Камчатки
Это один из наиболее интересных вулканических районов мира, где сконцентрировано большое число действующих вулканов, равно как и множество других природных феноменов, связанных с вулканической деятельностью. Объект наследия состоит из шести отдельных участков, которые в сумме отражают все основные особенности Камчатки как региона активного вулканизма. Действующие вулканы в сочетании с ледниками формируют исключительно живописный и постоянно развивающийся ландшафт. Местность выделяется значительным биоразнообразием, здесь отмечена высочайшая концентрация лососевых рыб, а также крупные скопления калана, большое количество бурых медведей и белоплечих орланов.

カムチャツカ火山群
カムチャッカ半島は、太平洋プレートが北米プレートに潜り込む位置にあるため、世界でも有数の火山地帯となっている。氷河に覆われたクロノツカヤ火山の勇姿は有名である。また1300種の植物やヒグマなど32種の哺乳類、240種の鳥類など、さまざまな野生動物の貴重な生息地ともなっている。source: NFUAJ
Vulkanen van Kamtsjatka
Het landschap van het schiereiland Kamtsjatka is van uitzonderlijke schoonheid met grote symmetrische vulkanen, meren, wilde rivieren en een spectaculaire kustlijn. Het is een van de meest opvallende vulkanische gebieden in de wereld, met een hoge dichtheid aan actieve vulkanen van verschillende types: van de 300 vulkanen op het schiereiland zijn er 29 actief. De wisselwerking tussen actieve vulkanen en gletsjers zorgt voor een dynamisch landschap. Het gebied kent een grote soortendiversiteit, waaronder 's werelds grootste variëteit aan zalmachtige vis en uitzonderlijke concentraties van de zeeotter, bruine beer en Stellar zeearend. Er zijn ook zalm paaigebieden langs de kustzone van de Beringzee.

Justification for Inscription
The Committee inscribed the Volcanoes of Kamchatka as one of the most outstanding examples of the volcanic regions in the world on the basis of natural criteria (vii), (viii) and (ix). The site contains a high density of active volcanoes, a variety of different types and a wide range of volcanic features. The Peninsula location between a large continental landmass and the Pacific Ocean also exhibits unique characteristics with major concentrations of wildlife.
Criterion (viii): The addition of Kluchevskoy Nature Park as the sixth component of the site further adds to the overall coverage of the range of Kamchatka's natural features. The addition to the site clearly meets criterion (viii) in its own right as an outstanding example of geological processes and landforms and therefore contributes in a very significant way to the expanded site as a whole meeting criterion (viii).
Criterion (ix) : The expanded site is also biologically analogous to six islands and its geographic location between a large continental landmass and the Pacific Ocean has given it unique characteristics. Natural processes continue with on-going volcanic activity and colonisation. Kluchevskoy Nature Park contributes significantly to the expanded site as a whole meeting criterion (ix).
Criterion (vii): The Kamchatka Volcanoes is a landscape of exceptional natural beauty with its large symmetrical volcanoes, lakes, wild rivers and spectacular coastline. It also contains superlative natural phenomena in the form of salmon spawning areas and major concentrations of wildlife (e.g. seabird colonies) along the coastal zone of the Bering Sea. Kluchevskoy Nature Park contributes very significantly to the site as a whole meeting criterion (vii).
Criterion (x): The Kamchatka Volcanoes contain an especially diverse range of palearctic flora (including a number of nationally threatened species and at least 16 endemics), and bird species such as the Stellar’s Sea Eagle (50% of world population), white tailed eagle, gyr falcon and peregrine falcon, which are attracted to the availability of spawning salmon. The rivers inside and adjacent to the site contain the world’s greatest known diversity of salmonid fish. All 11 species coexist in several of Kamchatka’s rivers.
