Nemo, Stratovolcano on Onekotan Island, Russia
Nemo is a stratovolcano located on Onekotan Island with a steep cone rising from the landscape. The volcano contains nested calderas and a lake formed within the crater depression.
The volcano was named in the 1800s after an English vessel exploring the Kuril Islands. This naming reflects early maritime exploration of the remote island region.
The northeastern section contains a large crater lake called Ozero Chernoye, which holds traditional significance for the indigenous peoples of the region.
The site is remote and challenging to reach, requiring careful preparation before visiting. Travelers should be aware of active volcanic conditions and take appropriate precautions when exploring the area.
The structure contains minerals such as augite, hypersthene, labradorite, olivine, and pyroxene within its andesitic volcanic composition.
