Taunshits

Stratovulcano · Russia · 2301 m

The western side of Taunshits contains a large horseshoe-shaped crater that formed about 8,000 years ago during an eruption that produced a debris avalanche and directed blast similar to that at Mount St. Helens in 1980. A viscous lava flow (center) erupted after the collapse from a vent at the top of the collapse scarp.

Sintesi geologica

Taunshits volcano, located west of the massive Uzon caldera, is an andesitic stratovolcano that was constructed beginning about 39,000 years before present (BP) on top of a large Pleistocene tuya pedestal. The summit is truncated by an open crater breached to the west that formed about 8,000 BP during an eruption producing a directed blast and a 3 km3 debris avalanche that traveled 19 km W. Another strong explosive eruption took place about 2,500 BP. Two satellitic cones occupy the S flank, and a cluster of Holocene cinder cones farther to the south may also be related to Taunshits.
