Yelovsky Volcano

This cluster of overlapping small basaltic shield volcanoes is located east of the crest of the Sredinny Range, NE of Shishel and SE of Alngey volcanoes. The largest edifice is the Elovsky shield, and the smaller Ozernovsky lies immediately to the SE. The massive early Holocene Ozernovsky lava flow, located immediately NE of Elovsky, traveled to the ESE down a glacially dissected valley. The flow is post-glacial in age, but older than roughly 7,000-year-old tephra layers from Khangar volcano. The massive flow dammed tributary valleys, creating several lakes near the headwaters of the Levaya and Pravaya Ozeraya rivers and forming a lava field covering an area of 100 km2.
