Yuzhno-Kurilsk, Russia
Mendeleyeva
Mendeleyeva is a stratovolcano located in the southern part of Kunashir Island, Kuril Islands, Russia. The dominantly andesitic-dacitic volcano is cut by two nested calderas, the larger 6–7 km in diameter and the smaller 3-3.5 km. A central cone that formed inside the younger caldera was breached to the west by a large debris avalanche about 4200 years ago.
