Karymsky (volcano)

Karymsky (Russian: Карымская сопка, Karymskaya sopka) is an active stratovolcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia.

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

Karymsky is a symmetrical stratovolcano rising within a 5-km-wide caldera that formed during the early Holocene.

Historical eruptions have been vulcanian or vulcanian-strombolian with moderate explosive activity and occasional lava flows from the summit crater.
