Kell ( Russian: Келля) is a small Pleistocene stratovolcano. It is located just north of the Zheltovsky volcano, within the Prizrak caldera on the southeast coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. [1] [2] [3]
Because of its remote and inaccessible location, most information about the volcano comes from aerial surveys. [4] The volcano was discovered during an aerial survey in 1946. [3]
The Prizrak caldera has a diameter of about 4 km (2.5 mi). It is located on top of the site of an ancient stratovolcano whose base has a diameter of about 10 km (6.2 mi). The slopes of the caldera feature a network of erosional valleys. [3] Within the Prizrak caldera complex are at least three partially nested calderas, each about 3 to 5 km (1.9 to 3.1 mi) in diameter. Kell is the largest of several small stratovolcanoes, composed mainly of lava, in the innermost portion of the caldera. The caldera also contains lava domes. [1] [2] [4]
The innermost caldera is thought to date from the Late Pleistocene. [4] The activity of the volcano appears to have ceased in post-glacial time; there is no evidence of recent volcanism or hydrothermal activity. [2] [3] [4]
