Rudakov (Russia)

Status Unknown Eruption Unknown 532m
Stratovolcano (Subduction zone / Intermediate crust (15-25 km))

The small isolated cone of Rudakov occupies the Tokotan Isthmus on the Sea of Okhotsk coast of central Urup Island. The 532-m-high basaltic-andesite stratovolcano lies between Petr Shmidt ridge and Krishtofovich Ridge and is capped by a 700-m-wide, funnel-like crater containing a 300-m-wide lake. The age was considered to be late Pleistocene or early Holocene (Gorshkov, 1970).

The small isolated cone on the Tokotan Isthmus adjacent to the Sea of Okhotsk (left) near the center of this Landsat image is Rudakov volcano. The 542-m-high basaltic-andesite stratovolcano lies between Petr Shmidt ridge (upper right) and Krishtofovich Ridge (lower left) in central Urup Island and is capped by a 700-m-wide, funnel-like crater containing a 300-m-wide lake visible in this image.
