Kamen

At 4,579 meters elevation, Kamen stands between Bezymianny and Kluchevskaya volcanoes, featuring steep slopes and a conical profile on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Between 10,000 and 11,000 years ago, Kamen became dormant after its magma supply diminished, leading to the partial destruction of its volcanic cone.

Local indigenous populations of the Kamchatka Peninsula maintain traditional connections to Kamen, incorporating the mountain into their spiritual practices.

The interior structure of Kamen remains visible through a major landslide opening, allowing geologists to study its volcanic composition and mineral deposits.

The walls of Kamen contain 80 percent layered pyroclastic deposits mixed with dikes, revealing materials such as breccias, cinders, and volcanic bombs.
