The Holocene scoria cones of Barkhatnaya Sopka are located on a plateau 13 km N of Vilyuchik volcano on an uplifted eroded Miocene-Pliocene block. In this view looking NE, the Mt. Barkhatnaya cone which formed 3,000-4,000 years ago is to the left, and the reddish hill to the right is an early Holocene scoria cone. The white hill in the center is a part of an eroded rhyolitic body. Coyrighted photo by Oleg Dirksen (Holocene Kamchataka volcanoes; http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/volcanoes/holocene/main/main.htm).
