Balagan-Tas

Balagan-Tas rises to 993 meters with a crater measuring 200 meters in width and 40 meters in depth in the Chersky Range.

The volcanic formation was discovered by V.A. Zimin in 1939, becoming a central element of the Moma Natural Park in the Russian Far East.

Local Yakut people have named this geological formation Balagan-Tas, which translates differently in their native language than in Russian.

Visitors need specialized equipment and permits to access this remote location, where temperatures and weather conditions can be extreme throughout the year.

Three distinct lava flows from the volcano cover 45 square kilometers, with deposits reaching depths of 10 meters across the surrounding terrain.
