Karpinsky Group, Volcanic group in Severo-Kurilsky District, Russia
The Karpinsky Group consists of two gently sloping cones reaching elevations of 1,345 meters and 1,262 meters on Paramushir Island.
The most recent significant volcanic activity occurred in November 1952, marking the only documented eruption in the recorded history of this formation.
The volcanic group bears the name of Alexander Petrovich Karpinsky, who established the Geological Committee and advanced geological mapping techniques in Russia.
Access to the Karpinsky Group requires special permits and arrangements for transportation due to its remote location in the Kuril Islands.
Within the twin craters of the volcanic group, active fumaroles release gases while fountains of liquid sulfur demonstrate ongoing geological processes.
