Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12640

The Udokan Plateau volcanic field extends across 3,000 km2 around 400 km ENE of the northern tip of Lake Baikal, with a small part of the field that contains Holocene features shown in this July 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 16.5 km across). The round, 950-m-diameter lava dome in the center of this image is just SW of the Aku crater. Chepe cone is in the NW corner, and between them is Dolinnyi cone.
