Колокол

The Kolokol volcano rises 1328 meters above sea level on Iturup Island, forming part of the Kuril Islands chain between Kamchatka and Japan.

This volcanic formation has remained dormant throughout recorded history, while maintaining its geological significance within the Pacific Ring of Fire region.

The volcano carries two distinct names: Kolokol in Russian and Tokachi Fuji in Japanese, reflecting the territorial influences in the Southern Kuril archipelago.

Access to Kolokol requires travel through Yuzhno-Kurilsk, with hiking trails leading to various observation points around the volcanic structure.

The mountain's location on Iturup Island provides researchers with opportunities to study both volcanic activity and marine ecosystems in one location.
