The Sredinny Ridge ( Срединный хребет , Sredinny Chrebet ) is an elongated mountain range on the Kamchatka Peninsula (Eastern Russia , Asia ).
Located in the Kamchatka region , over 1,000 km long and sparsely populated, the high mountain range adjoins the Koryak Mountains to the south . It extends in north-south direction over Kamchatka and rises up to 3,621 m high on the Ichinskaja Sopka . However, this mountain is not the highest point on the peninsula: In its eastern area - outside this mountain range - the volcano Klyuchevskaya Sopka rises 4,750 m.
The ridge also has numerous volcanoes, such as the mighty massif of Alney-Chashakondzha , the Anaun or stratovolcano Alngey .
