Atsonupuri, Stratovolcano in central Iturup Island, Russia.

Atsonupuri rises to 1,206 meters above sea level, forming a prominent peak within the Kuril Islands chain in the Russian Far East.

The volcano recorded two documented eruptions in 1812 and 1932, with the latter marking its most recent volcanic activity on Iturup Island.

The mountain carries three different names in Russian, Japanese, and Ainu languages, reflecting the territorial transitions of the Kuril Islands through time.

Hikers can reach the summit through established trails, while researchers study the volcanic formations and local ecosystem of the mountain.

The volcano stands 17.4 kilometers from its nearest higher neighbor, Stokap, creating a distinct geological feature in the Kurilsky District.
