Baranovsky Volcano, Stratovolcano in Primorsky Krai, Russia.
Baranovsky Volcano is a stratovolcano in the far eastern part of Russia rising to about 1,315 meters with a distinctive cone shape. The structure displays clear layers of volcanic material built up over many eruption cycles.
This volcano took shape during the late Pleistocene and its rock layers document a long period of volcanic activity. The final eruption occurred roughly 3,000 years ago.
Local inhabitants of Primorsky Krai recognize the volcano as a natural monument, incorporating its presence into their regional identity and traditions.
Getting to this volcano demands careful planning because it sits in a remote area that is difficult to access. Visitors should prepare for long travel times and limited facilities on the ground.
The stratigraphy reveals distinct layers of basalt and tephra, providing scientists with information about volcanic activity patterns in the Pacific Rim.
