Kronotsky Volcano — Russia

The symmetrical Kronotsky stratovolcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula lies between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Kronotsky. Extensive lava flows on the south side of the volcano dammed the Listvenichnaya River to form the lake. A steep summit ridge forms the peak above flanks that are dissected by radial valleys up to 200 m deep. Small cinder cones are present on the lower N and S flanks, 5-10 km from the summit. Lavas have been dominantly basaltic, with the exception of the small basaltic andesite summit lava extrusion and a flank lava flow. Fumarolic activity has been reported from near the summit. Gorbach et al. (2024) found scoria horizons associated with explosive eruptions dated to ~5,200-5,400 and ~6,000 years BP.
