Shiveluch Volcano

Shiveluch is the northernmost active volcano in Kamchatka Krai, Russia. Shiveluch began forming about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago, and it has had at least 60 large eruptions during in the last 10,000 years. This makes it the most active volcano in the 2,200 kilometer distance that includes the Kamchatka peninsula and the Kuril island chain.

There are three elements of the volcano: the stratovolcano Old Shiveluch; an ancient caldera; and the active Young Shiveluch, with an elevation of about 2,800 metres (9,186 ft).

The most recent eruption of Young Shiveluch started on August 15, 1999, and continues as of 2008
