Geological summary
The steep-sided Kamen stratovolcano lies at the center of a N-S chain of volcanoes, flanked by Bezymianny and Kliuchevskoi. It formed during the late Pleistocene, but activity continued into the Holocene (Melekestsev et al., 1990). A major slope failure about 1,200-1,300 years ago removed much of the eastern side of the volcano, producing a 4-6 km3 debris avalanche that traveled more than 30 km SE.
From Wikipedia
Kamen is a dormant stratovolcano located in the southern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, flanked by Bezymianny and Kluchevskaya. It is the second highest volcano of Kamchatka and sits above a shield volcano next to its neighboring volcanos. While the proximity between Kamen and its neighbors are relatively close, the lavas produced by all of them is different.
