Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Chachadake [Tiatia]
The SE flanks of Chachadake volcano in the Kuril Islands rise above the Pacific Ocean at the NE tip of Kunashir Island. A cone has formed in the 2.1 x 2.4 km summit caldera and is seen here rising above the center of the edifice. A major explosive eruption in 1973 and a smaller eruption occurred in 1812.

The symmetrical Chachadake, also known as Tiatia, is on the SE side of northern Kunashir Island in the southern Kuriles. The active cone rises above the rim of a filled 2.1 x 2.4 km summit caldera with erosionally furrowed flanks. The central cone, mostly formed by basaltic to basaltic andesite Strombolian eruptions, rises 400 m above the floor of the caldera and contains a 400 x 250 m wide crater with two explosion vents separated by a linear septum. Fresh lava flows cover much of the SW caldera floor and have overflowed the rim, extending to the foot of the older edifice, which formed during the late Pleistocene or early Holocene. A 500-m-wide crater about 2 km down the SE flank from the caldera rim is surrounded by an unvegetated area of volcanic deposits. The first recorded eruption was in 1812, and a major explosive eruption with lava flows in 1973 originated from vents on the central cone.
