Severgin Volcano

The Severgin Volcano rises to 1,145 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes that form a conical structure within the Greater Kuril Ridge.

This volcanic formation received its name from Vasily Severgin, a prominent Russian scientist who made substantial contributions to mineralogy and geology studies.

Local maritime communities use the volcanic peak as a natural navigation mark while traversing the waters of the northern Kuril Islands.

Reaching the volcano requires special permits and transportation arrangements through Severo-Kurilsk, the main administrative center of the district.

The volcano forms part of an uninhabited island environment where specific plant species have developed adaptations to survive in volcanic soil conditions.
