Volcano Blog: Bezymianny, Russia

Bezymianny, on the Kamchatka Peninsula, part of the Pacific Ocean "ring of fire" volcanoes.

This is a stratovolcano similar to Mt. St. Helen's, and exhibits the same explosive sort of eruption. Apparently the big eruption was in 1956, and the volcano has since confined itself to building a dome in the old crater.
