Chyornaya Sopka, Extinct volcano in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

Chyornaya Sopka is a low, rounded mountain in the Torgashinsky Ridge, its broad summit slightly flattened and covered in unbroken dark green forest from base to top. It is the ridge's highest point, rising to 688.7 metres, and is a subvolcanic intrusion, not an active volcano. No bare rock shows on its slopes.

Chyornaya Sopka is a subvolcanic intrusion, a stock of Early Devonian age, and the highest point of the Torgashinsky Ridge. It is an extinct volcano, not an active one. A diorite deposit lies on the mountain, and the massif with its adjoining territory is now a nature monument of regional significance.

The mountain's Khakas name Karatag means "black mountain". After the Second World War, Japanese prisoners of war held near Krasnoyarsk revered the peak because it reminded them of Mount Fuji. Local lore also speaks of a treasure hidden in the area and of a shamanic tree on the slopes said to have magical properties.

The mountain lies just outside Krasnoyarsk, near the villages of Lukino, Zykovo and Kuznetsovo at its foot, and is visible from many city districts. The massif and its surroundings are a nature monument of regional importance, so the forest and slopes are protected. The summit is a flattened, forested crest with no exposed rock, reached on foot through the taiga.
