Вулканы Камчатки

Teacher:

Kamchatka is a home of volcanoes. There are about 150 volcanoes in Kamchatka, 30 of them are active. Do you know how the volcanoes appeared in Kamchatka? I’ll tell you an interesting legend.

Legend.

There are a lot of legends and tales about the origin of volcanoes. I’ll tell you one of them.

Long, long ago there were no volcanoes in Kamchatka. It was a vast lowland. The groups of deer  grazed in this plain. The brave young men grazed them. They lived in harmony. But one day a beautiful girl appeared among them. The young men loved the girl, everybody wanted to be her husband. The men began to quarrel.

The shaman woman threatened that she would turn the men into the stone mountains if they didn’t stop to quarrel. But the young men didn’t pay attention to her words. The shaman woman kept the word. She turned them into the mountains. But the love of the men was so hot that the hearts of the mountains melt and lava splashed as blood.

The shaman woman could not turn their hearts into the stone. The fire of the young hearts was stronger than her witchcraft.

So volcanoes originated in Kamchatka.

How good do you know the names of our volcanoes?

Долина гейзеров

Teacher:

There is one of the world’s wonder in Kamchatka. What is this? Of course, it’s the famous Valley of Geysers. What do you know about this place? Who opened the Valley of Geysers?

Pupils make a report about the Valley of Geysers, show the pictures.

The Valley of Geysers is a geyser field in Russia, and has the second largest concentration of geysers in the world. This 6 km long basin with approximately ninety geysers and many hot springs is situated on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, predominantly on the left bank of the ever-deepening Geysernaya River, into which geothermal waters flow from a relatively young stratovolcano, Kikhpinych. Temperatures have been found to be 250 °C, 500 m below the caldera ground. It is part of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, which, in turn, is incorporated into the World Heritage Site "Volcanoes of Kamchatka". The valley is difficult to reach, with helicopters providing the only feasible means of transport.

The "pulsating" geysers of Kamchatka were discovered by a local scientist, Tatyana Ustinova, in 1941.She published her findings fourteen years later, but there was little exploration of the area until 1972. A systematic survey was undertaken in the mid-1970s, and an automatic monitoring system was introduced in 1990. Over thirty geysers were given names; among these was the Giant geyser (Velikan), capable of producing a jet of water reaching up to 40 meters. From the 1980s, the area was promoted across the USSR as one of the tourist magnets of Kamchatka and the Russian Far East. Foreign tourists were allowed into the valley in 1991. About 3,000 tourists visited the site annually.

Охрана природы

Teacher:

The nature of Kamchatka is unique and beautiful. But it can be destroyed if people don’t take care of it.

What can we do to protect our motherland?

Pupils:

People should protect the animals. Some animals are in The Red Data Book.

There are protected nature territories, the state nature preserves, the reserves in Kamchatka.

We should take care about the animals, the birds.

We should protect the forests.

Etc.

Подведение итогов

Teacher:

Our lesson will be over soon. I hope it was interesting and useful for you. To my mind each of you try to do the best during the lesson. We live in the wonderful place and we should do everything we can to save this land for other generations.

Kamchatka

Kamchatka, peninsula, 104,200 sq mi (269,878 sq km), Russian Far East, separating the Sea of Okhotsk in the west from the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean in the east. Extending from lat. 51°N to lat. 61°N, it is 750 mi (1,207 km) long and terminates in the south in Cape Lopatka, beyond which lie the Kuril Islands. Petropavlovsk is the chief city. There are many rivers and lakes, and the eastern shore is deeply indented by gulfs and bays. The peninsula's central valley, drained by the Kamchatka River, is enclosed by two parallel volcanic ranges that extend north-south; there are about 120 volcanoes. The highest point is Klyuchevskaya Sopka (15,600 ft/4,755 m), itself an active volcano. Kamchatka is covered with mountain vegetation, except in the central valley and on the west coast, which has peat marshes and tundralike moss. The climate is cold and humid. There are numerous forests, mineral springs, and geysers.

Kamchatka's mineral resources include coal, gold, mica, pyrites, sulfur, and tufa. Fishing, sealing, hunting, and lumbering are the main occupations. The seas surrounding the peninsula are a rich Russian fishing area (notably for crabs, which are exported worldwide), and fur trapping on the peninsula yields most of the furs of the Russian Far East. Some cattle raising is carried on in the south and farming (rye, oats, potatoes, vegetables) in the Kamchatka valley and around Petropavlovsk. Reindeer are also raised on the peninsula. Industries include fish processing, shipbuilding, and woodworking. Russia's only geothermal power station is on the peninsula. There is some tourism, particularly in the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, noted for its geysers.

The majority of the population is Russian, with large minorities of Koryak peoples. The northern part of the peninsula is administered as the Koryak Autonomous Area. Its capital is Palana.

The Russian explorer Atlasov visited Kamchatka in 1697. The region's exploration and development continued in the early 18th cent. under Czar Peter I, and Russian conquest was complete by 1732. Heavy Russian colonization occurred in the early 19th cent. From 1926 to 1938, Kamchatka formed part of the Far Eastern Territory. The peninsula is now part of the larger Kamchatka oblast [region], which includes offshore islands and areas of the mainland bordering the penisula. Petropavlovsk is the oblast's capital.
