| | Bezymianny, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia |
 | | The modern Bezymianny volcano, much smaller in size than its massive neighbors Kamen and Kliuchevskoi, was formed about 5,000 to 5,500 years ago over a late-Pleistocene lava dome complex and an older ancestral volcano that was built about 11,000 to 7,000 years ago. |
 | | The latest period, which was preceded by a 1,000 year quiescence, began with the dramatic 1955-56 sector collapse forming a large horseshoe-shaped crater. |
 | | No eruptions of Bezymianny were known for more than 250 years after the Russian discovery of Kamchatka in 1697 (a total of 1000 years of quiescence). |
