Description
Karymsky is a symmetrical stratovolcano rising within a 5-km-wide caldera that formed during the early Holocene. Much of the cone is mantled by lava flows less than 200 years old. Historical eruptions have been vulcanian or vulcanian-strombolian with moderate explosive activity and occasional lava flows from the summit crater.[2] There is currently an ongoing cycle of non-stop eruption occurring, and is the peninsula's most active, and reliable volcano, which has been erupting continuously since 1996.
Eruptions
An ongoing cycle of almost continuous eruption has been occurring since 1996.

Der Vulkan Karymski (russisch Карымский, auch Кары́мская со́пка, Karymskaja Sopka) ist der gegenwärtig aktivste Vulkan auf Kamtschatka. Er bildet das Zentrum einer Caldera von 5 Kilometer Durchmesser. Seit 1996 spuckt er beständig Lava und Asche. Die Ausbrüche werden seit 1771 beobachtet, die Radiokohlenstoffdatierung zeigt aber, dass die Aktivität schon seit etwa 500 Jahren anhält. Zuvor scheint der Vulkan 2300 Jahre lang ruhig gewesen zu sein. Der Karymski ist von zahlreichen anderen Vulkanen umgeben, so etwa dem Dsensurski oder dem Korjakski (Korjakskaja Sopka).- [en] Karymsky (volcano)
