Kamchatka south of latitude 58°N on a contoured topographic map at 1:1, 000, 000 from EWP, with enlargements for its four most visited areas, plus extensive notes on its geography, history, climate, & useful tourist information. All place names are in the Latin alphabet only. Coverage of the peninsula starts at 58°N. Relief is shown by contours, enhanced by shading & spot heights. Additional colouring and/or graphics indicate different types of terrain & vegetation (volcanic craters, lava flows, forests, etc), although the low-contrast of the print reproduction from the original Russian survey mapping makes some of the fine detail a little difficult to discern. Classification of the road network indicates unsurfaced, earth or winter roads passable when frozen. The map also indicates the bathymetry of the surrounding seas, with the nearby Komandor Islands included on inset. Latitude & longitude lines are at 1° intervals. Four panels at larger scales show: Petropavlovsk Kamchatskii area (1:200, 000), Kronotsky Lake region (1:340, 000), Kliuchevskaya Sopka (1:200, 000) & Mutnovskaya Sopka (1:500, 000). Extensive additional information
Includes:: a list of abbreviations for geographical features & notes on the transliteration from Cyrillic alphabet with a pronunciation guide. Map legend & all the text are in English. Current edition of this title was published in 2003.
