The small isolated cone of Rudakov occupies the Tokotan Isthmus on the Sea of Okhotsk coast of central Urup Island. The 542-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 of Rudakov was considered to be late Pleistocene or early Holocene (Gorshkov, 1970).
