Background
Severny is a late-Quaternary Icelandic-type shield volcano located at the NW end of a major NE-trending graben along the crest of the northern Sredinny Range. The 1936-m-high Severny is capped by a small stratovolcano. A small shield volcano was constructed on its SW flank, and an even smaller shield grew on the NE flank. The basaltic Tobeltsen cinder cone on the WSW flank and associated lava flows were erupted about 3500 years ago.---

Remark:
Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. "Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.
