Ichinsky

The Ichinsky volcano reaches 3,607 meters in height and features a 3-by-5-kilometer summit caldera containing two prominent lava domes at its peak.

The most recent documented eruption of Ichinsky occurred in 1740, marking the last recorded volcanic activity from this massive geological formation.

Local scientists maintain monitoring stations near the volcano to study ongoing fumarolic activity and collect data about geological processes in the region.

Reaching Ichinsky requires advanced mountaineering skills and proper equipment due to its remote location and the presence of substantial ice caps.

Several glaciers flow down the sides of Ichinsky, while twelve dacite and rhyodacite lava domes mark the lower sections of the volcanic structure.
