The glacier-covered Kazbek stratovolcano in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia, just south of the border with Russia, has produced long lava flows down flank valleys. The summit cone and the latest lava flows are of post-glacial age, and the latest andesitic-dacitic lava flow was radiocarbon dated at about 6,000 years ago. Gushchenko (1979) listed an 800-700 BCE eruption.
