Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12458

Milna is the southernmost volcano on Simushir island, shown in this August 2020 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 13 km across). There is a large scarp across the SE side of the island, opening towards the sea. Within the scarp is a lava dome that grew higher than the scarp walls, and on the NW flank is the Goriaschaia Sopka lava dome with lobate lava flows extending the coastline.
