Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Bolshoi Semiachik
Bolshoi Semiachik is a group of late Pleistocene-Holocene cones and domes located within a large caldera. The massif is seen here from the western rim (Bort ridge). Bolshoi Semiachik volcano is the large late-Pleistocene edifice on the near the center of the horizon. Several Holocene extrusive domes and vigorously active thermal fields are located W and SW of the volcano.

The Bolshoi Semiachik volcanic complex was constructed within a 10-km-wide caldera whose rim is exposed only on the west. The caldera occupies a large 20 x 30 km late-Pleistocene volcano-tectonic depression near the Pacific Coast of eastern Kamchatka. Post-caldera volcanism includes resurgent doming and the construction of numerous stratovolcanoes and lava domes, several of which have been active during the Holocene. Zubchatka (Bolshoi Semiachik), Zapadny Barany, Vostochny Barany, Zentralny Semiachik, Popkov, Plosky, and Burlyashchy volcanoes are the largest of the volcanic complex. The youngest volcanism and intense modern hydrothermal activity, which is among the most vigorous of Kamchatka, is located outside the caldera to the SE.
