The Kamchatka (Russian: Камча́тка) is the longest river in Kamchatka peninsula, located in Kamchatka Krai in the Russian Far East. It flows into the Pacific Ocean at the town Ust-Kamchatsk, on the east coast of Kamchatka. It is 758 kilometres (471 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 55,900 square kilometres (21,600 sq mi).[1] The river is rich with salmon, millions of which spawn yearly and which once supported the settlements of the native Itelmen.[2]
Like most of its namesake peninsula, the basin of the Kamchatka River has at low altitudes a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) with short, cool-to-comfortable summers and freezing, snowy winters.
