Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Samsari Volcanic Center
The central part of the 40-km-long (N-S) Samsari Volcanic Center is shown in this September 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 30 km across). At least 20 edifices form the complex, and the Samsari edifice and caldera is in the center of the top third of this image. The southernmost cone in this image is Patara Abuli and the closest NW cone is Didi Abuli. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).

The Samsari Volcanic Center consists of more than 20 volcanoes extedning about 40 km N-S along the Samsari Ridge, part of the Dzhakheti Highland of southern Georgis, about 90 km WSW of Tbilisi. The most prominent volcanoes are Shavnabada in the north, the Samsari Caldera, and Didi-Abuli in the south. K-Ar dates obtained by Lebedev et al. (2003) showed that the oldest rocks were about 400 ka, from Didi-Abuli; the Samsari caldera was active around 200 ka. One sample from Tavkvetili volcano, a feature with a well-preserved crater at the far northern edge of the range, dated to <30 ka. A lava flow from Godorebi volcano, just north of Didi-Abuli, had a similar date.
