The extensively eroded Schmidt volcano is shown in this September 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 33 km across). This was one of the largest early Pleistocene volcanoes in Kamchatka, and after a period of inactivity produced scoria cones on the E and NE flanks during the Holocene.
