Golets-Tornyi volcano eruptions: unknown, probably ca. 10,000 years ago Last earthquakes nearby:
The age of their last eruptions is unknown, but probably about 10,000 years ago. A lava flow from the andesitic-dacitic Tornyi cone (417 m) is seen inside a glacial depression. Golets cone itself was constructed above the eroded remnants of the extinct Parusnaya Mountain volcano. Lava flows from Golets reached the coast. (Source: GVP / Smithsonian volcano information) |
