EXTINCT VOLCANO

KAMCHATKA VOLCANO
The volcanoes of Kamchatka are a large group of volcanoes situated on the Kamchatka Peninsula, in
eastern Russia. The Kamchatka River and the surrounding central side valley are flanked by large
volcanic belts containing around 160 volcanoes, 29 of them still active

MT. POKIS

In our approach to the island we were welcomed by the green-brown conical Smith Volcano (Mt. Pokis)
– in my opinion second only to Mayon in beauty among the country’s volcanoes. Behind it stood the
more forested, cloud-capped Mt. Babuyan Claro (Chinteb na Wasay). Pokis in Ibatan means ‘bald’ and is
used to describe the volcano’s barren slopes.
