Abstract Geological position of two close active volcanoes in Southern Kamchatka – Mutnovsky and Gorely perspective for geotechnological development as sources of energy and raw materials is presented. Multicone ridged volcanoes edifices of a general linear range are localized respectively in front and near rear zones of the Kuril-Kamchatka island arc system in the zone of crust decompression with different depth of their basement. The characteristics of the volcanoes positions are considered as the reasons for the differences of compositions and evolution features of magma feeding them.
