Kamen' (vulcano)

Kamen

Stratovulcano · Russia · 4585 m

Kamen lies at the center of a N-S-trending chain of volcanoes, flanked by Bezymianny (left) and Klyuchevskoy. Kamen formed during the late Pleistocene and activity continued into the Holocene. A major flank collapse about 1,200-1,300 years ago removed much of the eastern side of the volcano, leaving the steep escarpment seen in this view.

Sintesi geologica

The steep-sided Kamen stratovolcano lies at the center of a N-S chain of volcanoes, flanked by Bezymianny and Kliuchevskoi. It formed during the late Pleistocene, but activity continued into the Holocene (Melekestsev et al., 1990). A major slope failure about 1,200-1,300 years ago removed much of the eastern side of the volcano, producing a 4-6 km3 debris avalanche that traveled more than 30 km SE.
