Severgina volcano

The island of Harimkotan, on which the volcano is located, in fact fully acts as a terrestrial part of the hill. Its area is approximately 60 square kilometers. The sopka is a regular conical layered mound consisting of rocks of andesites and basalts. In addition, the slopes of the hill are strewn with frozen flows of once burning lava, ash and volcanic dust.

At the moment, the volcano is active and is under the close supervision of a volcanic station. Only at the end of the XIX century was recorded three powerful explosions that destroyed the sharp cone of the volcano. In the last century, the height of Severgin made itself felt only twice. The last eruption dates back to 1933.
