It is a young, highly symmetrical stratovolcanic cone. The height of the plume during the 2009 eruption was estimated at 12 to 18 kilometres (7.5 to 11.2mi).[6]

The peak was named after admiral Gavril Sarychev of the Imperial Russian Navy.
2009 eruption
The volcano erupted June 11–21, 2009,[7][8] sending out ash plumes.[9] As the volcano is near some of the main air routes between East Asia and North America, there was some disruption to air traffic.[10]
During an early stage of the eruption, on June 12, 2009, the International Space Station passed overhead and astronauts photographed the event.[11] A hole in the overhead clouds, possibly caused by the shock wave from the explosion, allowed a clear view of the plume and pyroclastic flow down the sides of the mountain. A cap-like pileus cloud is visible atop the rising column.[11]
