Komarov

Stratovulcano · Russia · 2065 m

Hydrothermally altered rocks form the summit ridge of Komarov in this view from the east. Komarov is a complex structure in the northern half of the Gamchen ridge and lies at the western end of a 2.5 x 4 km caldera. Holocene lava flows, such as the one in the foreground, extend beyond the caldera to the east and west.

Sintesi geologica

Komarov volcano is a complex structure along the Gamchen ridge. The summit area includes two irregular craters ~300m in diameter. Lengthy Holocene lava flows extend to the east and west. Growth began about 1,500 years ago following cessation of activity at Vysoky volcano. No reported eruptions are known, but the summit region has undergone extensive hydrothermal alteration, and fumarolic areas occur there and on the northern and southern flanks.
