Karpinsky Group

The Karpinsky Group (Russian: Вулкан Карпинского) is a volcanic group located at the southern end of Paramushir Island, Kuril Islands, Russia.

The group is capped by two gently sloping cones rising to a height of 1,326 m. They are composed of andesites and andesite-basalts.

The sides of the volcanoes have been heavily glaciated leaving a number of cirques which were initially thought to be eroded craters.

The volcanoes were named after the geologist Aleksandr Petrovich Karpinsky.
