Avachinskiy or Avacha Volcano (also known as Avachinskaya Sopka among Kamchatka inhabitants) is an active volcano. It has a complex, cone-in-cone structure of Somma-Vesuvius type. Avachinskiy Volcano used to be a lot larger than it is now. But a long time ago, a violent eruption reduced the volcano to almost half its original size, to what it is now. A new active cone with beautiful contours stood up from the depths of the Earth although the remains of the old mountain can still be found at the base of the new volcano.
Mount Camel is 28 kilometres away from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. It is a small (200 m), rocky massif with two sharp peaks, located on the pass between Avachinskiy and Koryakskiy volcanoes. Another name for this mount is Double-Humped Rock.
