Vysoky, Active volcano in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia
The Vysoky volcano rises 4835 meters above sea level, featuring a cone shape structure with multiple layers of solidified lava and volcanic ash.
The first documented observation of volcanic activity at Vysoky dates back to 1697, when Vladimir Atlasov visited the Kamchatka region during his expedition.
The local inhabitants of Kamchatka Peninsula use the term 'sopka' to refer to hills or mountains, reflecting their traditional geographic nomenclature.
