Fuss Peak, Active stratovolcano on Paramushir Island, Russia
Fuss Peak stands at 1,772 meters above sea level on the southern section of Paramushir Island in the Kuril archipelago.
The volcano received its name in recognition of Nicolas Fuss, a Swiss mathematician who worked as secretary at the St Petersburg Academy of Sciences.
The presence of Fuss Peak within the Kuril Islands chain represents the natural forces that shape the geological identity of the Russian Far East.
Access to Fuss Peak requires special permits and professional guidance due to its remote location and status as an active volcanic formation.
The last confirmed eruption of Fuss Peak occurred in July 1854, making it one of the least active volcanoes in the Kuril Islands chain.
