Karymsky - Giant Volcano in Russia, biggest volcano, only in russia, weird thing in russia

Karymsky (Russian: Карымская сопка, Karymskaya sopka) is a stratovolcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is the most active volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, as well as the most active volcano of Kamchatka's eastern volcanic zone, a symmetrical stratovolcano constructed within a 5-km-wide caldera that formed during the early Holocene.

Much of the cone is mantled by lava flows less than 200 years old. Historical eruptions have been vulcanian or vulcanian-strombolian with moderate explosive activity and occasional lava flows from the summit crater. There is currently an ongoing eruption.

It is named after Karyms, an ethnic group in Russia. -Wikipedia
