Khodutka

The Khodutka stratovolcano rises to an elevation of 2,039 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and a summit crater containing a volcanic lake.

The volcano experienced its last major eruption around 300 BCE, which produced pyroclastic flows and resulted in the formation of lava domes on its slopes.

Indigenous communities of Kamchatka Peninsula have incorporated the geological features of Khodutka into their traditional knowledge and way of life.

Access to Khodutka requires specialized transportation and guidance, as the volcano sits in a remote location with limited infrastructure and challenging terrain.

The western slope of Khodutka contains the Khodutkinsky maar, a volcanic crater formed by the interaction between magma and groundwater.
