caption_attribution_description: English: Mendeleyeva is a volcano in Kunashir Island , Kuril Islands, Russia. 日本語: 国後羅臼山、ロシアの千島列島の国後島にある火山。 In detail: Kunashiri Rausu Yama (Mendeleev) - Geological Survey of Japan, AIST
context_page_description: Mendeleyeva is a stratovolcano located in the southern part of Kunashir Island, Kuril Islands, Russia.
  The dominantly andesitic-dacitic volcano is cut by two nested calderas, the larger 6–7 km in diameter and the smaller 3-3.5 km. A central cone that formed inside the younger caldera was breached to the west by a large debris avalanche about 4200 years ago. A lava dome that grew inside the avalanche scarp forms the 888 m high point of the volcano. Additional lava domes in the northern part of the older caldera are considered to represent flank activity of the younger caldera.
  The only unambiguous historical eruption was a small phreatic eruption in 1880. Four solfatara fields lie at the eastern and northern flanks of the central cone. Goriachy Pliazh geothermal field is located outside the caldera, along the eastern coast.
