Barkhatnaya

The Barkhatnaya Sopka group of Pleistocene andesitic-to-rhyolitic lava domes and Holocene basaltic pyroclastic cones is located along the Paratunka River about 30 km NNW of Gorely volcano. The cinder cones are sitting on an uplifted block of eroded Miocene-Pliocene rocks. Most of the younger cones lie on the S and SE sides of the volcanic field. The Barkhatnaya cinder cone formed about 3,000-4,000 years ago (Ponomareva, 1992 p.c.).
