Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Chirpoi
Chirpoi Island contains multiple volcanic edifices constructed within an 8-9 km wide, partially submerged caldera. This view from the east shows the Snow cone (left), Cherny (center), and the eroded Chirpoi to the right. Cherny erupted twice during the 18th and 19th centuries and Snow erupted between 1770 and 1810. It is composed almost entirely of lava flows, some of which form the shoreline in the foreground.

Chirpoi, a small island lying between the larger islands of Simushir and Urup, contains a half dozen volcanic edifices constructed within an 8-9 km wide, partially submerged caldera. The southern rim of the caldera is exposed on nearby Brat Chirpoev Island. The symmetrical Cherny volcano, which forms the central cone of the island, erupted twice during the 18th and 19th centuries. The youngest volcano, Snow, originated between 1770 and 1810. It is composed almost entirely of lava flows, many of which have reached the sea on the southern coast. No recorded eruptions are known from Brat Chirpoev, but its youthful morphology suggests recent Strombolian activity.
