Good strategic place to hold in a game of RISK!

The first thought I had was the RISK game as well. Kamchatka was always loaded with armies to defend Asia from the east.

Our son Vanya was born near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. Sure is a place where you can “feel the Earth move under your feet”.

Marshaling the troops for an invasion of Alaska.

over 600 km deep - too deep for most anything significant

Kamchatka was always loaded with armies to defend Asia from the east.

Except when it was loaded with armies to protect North America from the Mongol, Japanese or Siberian hordes!

>>over 600 km deep - too deep for most anything significant<<

We can only pray that is so. If we haven’t heard of tsunamis by now then your calculation is blissfully true.

The Earth is a complex place — hard to predict how thousands of factors impact on each other. Which is why AGW is NOT a Scientific Theory.

check the usgs site, their calculations, not mine.

"Marshaling the troops for an invasion of Alaska. "

I was thinking the same thing. There is nothing there and never has been except it is a key location in the game of Risk.
