Klyuchevskaya’s first recorded eruption occurred in 1697, and it has been almost continuously active ever since.
It was first climbed in 1788. No other ascents were recorded until 1931, when several climbers were killed by flying lava on the descent.

Other volcanoes in the region are seen with similar spiritual significance, but Klyuchevskaya Sopka is the most sacred.
