Zavaritski Caldera, Caldera volcano in Simushir Island, Russia.

The volcano experienced its last recorded eruption between November and December 1957, marking a significant event in the geological timeline of the Kuril Islands.

The caldera bears the name of Alexander Nikolayevich Zavaritski, a distinguished scientist who contributed to the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union.
