| Summary: | Gorely volcano is large, long-lived shield-type volcano (South Kamchatka) that is currently in an eruptive phase (prior eruptions occurred in 1980-81 and 1984-86). The volcano has a complicated structure. Its structure has a number of complexes, but in general the structure of the volcano Gorely consists of two edifices- ancient and modern. The ancient edifice (Pra-Gorely) has shield-shaped form. Caldera (13x12 km) is located in its center. The modern edifice (Young Gorely) occupies the central part of caldera, represented by three fused cones, which form the ridge which stretch out in the North-West direction. The absolute height of the central cone is 1829 m. At the top there is a 11 craters superimposed on each other, and on the slopes there are about 40 cinder cones with lava flows of varying lengths. |
