Keen on x Keen to: Como utilizar

Hi everybody, I'm trying to understand this expreesion "keen to"

And while many people are keen to leave Murmansk, they often end up returning.

Very interested, eager, or wanting (to do) something very much.

Also the same word `keen` sometimes appears following by to or on

Can someone give a light?

Thanks for help me!
