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.

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.
