Der Sredinny-Höhenrücken (Срединный хребет, Sredinny Chrebet) ist eine langgestreckte Gebirgskette auf der Halbinsel Kamtschatka (Ost-Russland, Asien).
Die in der Region Kamtschatka liegende, über 1.000 km lange und nur wenig besiedelte Hochgebirgskette schließt sich südlich an das Korjakengebirge an.[1] Sie erstreckt sich in Nord-Süd-Richtung über Kamtschatka und ragt am Itschinskaja Sopka bis zu 3.621 m hoch auf. Dieser Berg stellt allerdings nicht die höchste Erhebung der Halbinsel dar: In ihrem östlichen Bereich – außerhalb dieses Gebirges – ragt der Vulkan Kljutschewskaja Sopka 4.750 m hoch auf.
Der Höhenrücken weist ebenfalls zahlreiche Vulkane auf, so etwa das mächtige Massiv der Alnei-Tschaschakondscha, den Anaun oder den Schichtvulkan Alngei.

Topography of Kamchatka Peninsula.
Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, lying between the Sea of Okhotsk to the west and the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean to the east, is one of the most active volcanic regions along the Pacific Ring of Fire. It covers an area about the size of Colorado but contains more than 100 volcanoes stretching across the 1000-kilometer-long (620-mile-long) land mass. A dozen or more of these have active vents, with the youngest located along the eastern half of the peninsula. This color-coded shaded relief image, generated with data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), shows Kamchatka's volcanic nature to dramatic effect.
Kliuchevskoi, one of the most active and renowned volcanoes in the world, dominates the main cluster of volcanoes called the Kliuchi group, visible as a circular feature in the center-right of the image. The two other main volcanic ranges lie along northeast-southwest lines, with the older, less active range occupying the center and western half of Kamchatka. The younger, more active belt begins at the southernmost point of the peninsula and continues upward along the Pacific coastline.
Two visualization methods were combined to produce this image: shading and color coding of topographic height. The shade image was derived by computing topographic slope in the north-south direction, so northern slopes appear bright and southern slopes appear dark. Color coding is directly related to topographic height, with green at the lower elevations, rising through yellow and brown to white at the highest elevations.
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on February 11, 2000. The mission used the same radar instrument that comprised the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar that flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994. The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission was designed to collect three-dimensional measurements of the Earth's surface. To collect the 3-D data, engineers added a 60-meter (200-foot)-long mast, installed additional C-band and X-band antennas, and improved tracking and navigation devices. The mission is a cooperative project between NASA, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense, and the German and Italian space agencies. It is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, Washington, D.C.
