Fuss Peak in the distance forms a peninsula on the SW coast of Paramushir Island. The cone has a 700-m-wide, 300-m-deep crater. Well-preserved lava flows were emplaced on the middle and lower flanks, particularly on the E and SE sides. A volcanological field party in the foreground are on the shore of Shirinki Island.
