Khodutka stratovolcano was formed during the late-Pleistocene to early Holocene, partially covering the older Priemysh stratovolcano on the NW flank. At least 10 explosion craters, small lava cones, and lava domes are located along the flanks, and cinder cones produced by regional basaltic volcanism occur to the west. The Khodutkinsky maar on the WNW flank was created about 2,800 years ago during an eruption that deposited tephra across much of southern Kamchatka. Formation of the maar was accompanied by small pyroclastic flows, followed by emplacement of lava flows and domes. The last dated eruption took place from the summit vent about 2,000-2,500 years ago. The Khodutka Springs geothermal field occupies an explosion crater on the NW flank of Priemysh.
