Kutkhina Bata is located on the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula. This valley was formed several thousand years ago, when a massive volcanic explosion shook the entire surrounding nature. During the disaster, a huge amount of ash spread throughout the neighborhood, creating a layer that is as much as five centimeters.
Scientists have calculated that the eruption of the volcano was eight times greater than the terrible eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.
