Mendeleyeva

The volcano features two nested calderas, with the larger extending 7 kilometers in diameter and containing multiple lava domes at its northern section.

The most recent volcanic activity occurred in 1880 when Mendeleyeva experienced a small phreatic eruption, marking its last documented geological event.

The volcano carries the name of Dmitry Mendeleev, the Russian scientist who developed the periodic table of chemical elements in the 19th century.

Four solfatara fields on the eastern and northern slopes provide researchers with opportunities to study ongoing geothermal processes at the site.

The Goriachy Pliazh geothermal field lies outside the caldera along the eastern coast, adding to the geological diversity of the region.
