Background

Bangum is a Pleistocene stratovolcano dissected to much the same stage as the Garbuna volcanoes (Johnson and Blake 1972; Johnson 1990, pers. comm.). IAVCEI lists a thermal area, but gives a coordinate that appears to be at the west foot of Welcker volcano. Johnson and Blake note no thermal areas on Bangum.

Stop Russia's Agression - Support Ukraine

Significant parts of this website use brilliant open-source software developed by Ukrainians. Russia's unprovoked war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and the beautiful country of Ukraine is being destroyed. We cannot be silent even if the topic of this website has nothing to do with politics.
If you like to support Ukraine from abroad:
Ukrainians recommend the Come Back Alive charity. For other options, see StandWithUkraine.
