Zheltovsky

Zheltovsky Volcano rises 1,953 meters above sea level, featuring a summit crater measuring 500 by 800 meters with steep walls and a 600-meter-wide dome.

The volcano formed approximately 8,000 years ago and experienced its most recent significant eruption in 1923, producing andesite-basaltic lava flows on its southeastern flank.

The volcanic landscape of Zheltovsky holds importance for indigenous communities of Kamchatka Peninsula, who maintain connections with the natural formations in their region.

Scientific expeditions to Zheltovsky require specialized permits and guidance due to its location in a protected natural area of the Russian Far East.

This twin stratovolcano encompasses 85 square kilometers and contains approximately 55 cubic kilometers of ejected material throughout its geological history.
