Volcanic eruptions and related processes in the bowels of the Earth - thermal springs and geysers - form the basis of the landscape here. On an area of 38000 km² there are a variety of manifestations of volcanic activity: extinct and active volcanoes, mud pots, geysers, steam-gas jets, mineral and hot springs.
