Chikuracki volcano

The age of Chikurachka is about 50 thousand years. It is a volcano of complex construction. Its height is about 1800 meters. It is a neat cone-shaped mound consisting of rocks of andesite, as well as volcanic dust, ash and slag. At the top of the hill is a regular shaped crater. Its diameter reaches 450 meters. There are high sides at the edges of the trough. Inside the crater is a volcanic plug.

Due to frequent eruptions, nothing grows near the volcano. Living organisms categorically do not perceive frozen lava, and a lot of it has spilled over the entire history of the volcano. Eruptions began in the XIX century. There are three largest explosions in a century. Nowadays, the volcano worries almost every year. The last eruption was recorded in 2008. He hasn't made himself known for five years. Seismologists consider it an unpredictable volcano, so it is closely monitored.
