Summary:Abstract ––Based on integrated structural and geophysical studies and generalization of geophysical, hydrogeological, mineralogical, geochemical and other data, it is shown that the southern cluster of thermal fields of the Kambalny volcanic ridge (South Kamchatka) is included in the modern hydrothermal system. New data on the structure of the steam hydrotherm discharge area investigated to a depth of about 300 m have been obtained. The structural and hydrodynamic connection between two thermal fields from this group has been established. The Kambalny Ridge geothermal system embracing all major clusters of thermal fields is assumed to have a single deep-seated source of heat supply.
