Belenkaya, Stratovolcano in Eastern Range, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia.

Belenkaya is a small basaltic stratovolcano in the Eastern Range of southern Kamchatka, rising to 892 m. Its cone stands at the source of the Golygina River, southwest of the Shtyubel volcano. The Russian name Belenkaya Sopochka and the alternative Sakhan are also used for it.

Belenkaya is an extinct basaltic stratovolcano whose last eruption is not precisely dated. The Russian Wikipedia article states that, according to scientists, Sakach (another name for the volcano) ceased activity in the middle Holocene, around 5000 BCE. The English Wikipedia article instead places the last known eruption in the Pleistocene and notes no known Holocene eruptions.

This mountain serves as a research destination for geologists studying the tectonic activities and volcanic formations of the Eastern Range system.

Belenkaya rises at the source of the Golygina River, southwest of the Shtyubel volcano, in the southern part of the Eastern Range. The 892 m cone is reached over trackless volcanic terrain; the Russian sources give no marked trail or facility. Plan access from the south of Kamchatka and allow for the remote setting.

The Russian name Sakach (Сахач) is an alternative name for Belenkaya, and the volcano stands at the source of the Golygina River, southwest of Shtyubel. Its basaltic cone reaches 892 m. The Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program lists it, and its last eruption is placed in the middle Holocene, around 5000 BCE.
