Kamchatka Peninsula Experiences Record Snowfall Breaking 146-Year Record

Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula is experiencing record-breaking snowfall, surpassing a 146-year-old record, with several months' worth of snow falling within days. The heavy snow has disrupted daily life, closing roads, delaying flights, and prompting emergency snow-clearing efforts. Experts attribute the extreme conditions to repeated Pacific cyclones bringing moisture that freezes over Kamchatka's rugged terrain, with climate change and the region's geography also contributing to the unusual snowfall.
