The small pyroclastic cones of Golets and Tornyi, located SW of Medvezhii volcano at one of the narrowest parts of Iturup Island, formed during the late Pleistocene or early Holocene. A small lava flow from 417-m-high Tornyi cone occupies a broad glacial cirque. The 442-m-high andesitic-dacitic Golets cone, constructed above the eroded remnants of the Pleistocene Parusnaya Mountain volcano, produced lava flows that reached the coast. |
