Ebeko

Ebeko is an active stratovolcano on Paramushir Island with several craters located at its summit. These craters regularly release steam and volcanic gases into the atmosphere.

The volcano experienced at least eleven eruptions between 1793 and 1991, with the most powerful one occurring in 1859. These eruptions have shaped the geological character of the island.

The native inhabitants of the Kuril Islands incorporated the continuous volcanic activity of Ebeko into their traditional beliefs and regional stories.

Access requires special permits and must be arranged through authorized operators in the region. Its location on a remote island means planning ahead is essential for any visit.

Ebeko maintains three separate craters at its summit, each producing distinct sulfuric gases and thermal features throughout the year.
