The Kikhpinych volcano is located in the upper part of the Geysernaya River. Its picturesque slopes are covered with various vegetation. The western part of the volcano descends to the river in the form of miraculous terraces. There are hot springs, which are constantly smoked by steam.
There are especially many of them on the lower terrace. Since the first time a person got there, this place is considered deadly.
Local hunters who hunted the animal once found themselves in those places. It turned out that several dogs had disappeared from them. While searching for animals, hunters came across a "graveyard" of different animals. Their dogs lay there dead. They were killed by a sudden and sudden cessation of breathing. The completely bare ground, on which there was not even a trace of vegetation, was covered with many corpses of birds and animals.
Suddenly, as they later said, the hunters felt weakness, dryness and a metallic taste in their mouth. Chills and dizziness began. People left this place immediately. There were no adverse health effects other than unpleasant memories. It was in 1930. Since then, many researchers have visited this "valley of death". There were also tourists. Not all expeditions ended well. Now this place is considered a reserve.
About a hundred people died there in the following time. But, unfortunately, the data of scientists are even more confusing than clarifying, the situation of the black place. Animals, both small and large, such as bears, perish. Some are predators, by definition. poisoned with the meat of dead animals.

At first, they “sinned” on volcanic gas, which contains life-threatening compounds (carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon, etc.). The symptoms of poisoning are similar to those described by the hunters, but their action is slow, not sudden. Scientists decided that the poisonous substance causing sudden death is the presence of cyanogen chloride in volcanic gases. These gases act on living organisms instantly. But it stops that his concentration should be in large quantities.
In addition, cyanide, even in small quantities, causes profuse tearing, and this has not happened in humans. Yes, cyanide leaves nothing alive, but in this case, in this bad place, someone still lives: dead bodies do not dry out to a mummy state, but decompose and part of them is gnawed. And this means that there are bacteria, and if there are bacteria, then there are those organisms that feed on them (possible various worms, insect larvae and what else?) Researchers still need to study a lot in order to unravel this mysterious phenomenon.
The Kamchatka Peninsula is a distant mysterious land. It’s not that far, only 2 hours fly from Khabarovsk. But what is mysterious is a fact. Structures of ancient civilizations are scattered all over the earth
