This paper presents some results of different environmental parameters measurements during the 1975-1976 Tolbachik volcano eruption and till the year 2005. The studied area includes eruptive centers and the nearby territory within a radius of 10 km. The main investigated parameters were: the relief, the deformations, the radioactivity, the deep-frozen soil areas; the biota, the temperature anomalies.
