About Kozyrevsky
Kozyrevsky is a shield rising to 2,004 meters (6,575 feet) in Russia's Northwestern Pacific Volcanic Regions. No historical eruptions have been recorded, though the volcano is classified based on geological evidence of past activity.
Geography & Climate
Kozyrevsky is located in Russia, within the Central Kamchatka Volcanic Arc of the broader Northwestern Pacific Volcanic Regions. Situated at 55.64° N, 158.37° E in the Northern Hemisphere, the volcano lies within a subarctic climate zone. At 2,004 meters above sea level, Kozyrevsky rises above the surrounding terrain into montane or subalpine conditions. The elevation creates distinct ecological zones along its flanks, from forested lower slopes to exposed rocky terrain near the summit. The volcanic landform is characterized as a shield, which describes the physical shape and structure of the volcanic edifice as observed from the surface.
GVP Reference Summary
Kozyrevsky is a small Quaternary basaltic to basaltic andesite shield-like volcano located east of the Bystraya River, ~40 km E of Ichinsky in the southern Sredinny Range. It is topped by a small stratovolcano and has a large cinder cone on the SW flank. Early geological studies in the Sredinny Range (Ogorodov et al., 1972) assigned Holocene ages based on morphology, but later work noted that these volcanoes appear younger because they have less tephra cover than those in eastern Kamchatka. Researchers such as Ponomareva et al. (2007) do not consider this volcano to be Holocene.
