Etorofu-Yakeyama [Grozny Group]
About Etorofu-Yakeyama [Grozny Group]
The Etorofu-Yakeyama (Ivan Grozny) complex is located in the center of Iturup Island. It has a 3-3.5 km diameter caldera open to the south, where a large extrusive andesitic dome was emplaced. Several other lava domes of Holocene age were constructed to the NE; extrusion of these domes has constricted a former lake in the northern side of the caldera to an extremely sinuous shoreline. Recorded eruptions, the first of which took place in 1968, have been from the central Yakeyama (Grozny) dome.
