Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Vitim Volcanic Field
The Vitim Volcanic Field covers an area of around 4,500 km2. A smaller area approximately 34 km across that contains several craters is shown in this August 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top). The field is located about 200 km E of northern Lake Baikal, along the Vitim River. The majority of the eruption centers are in the NW portion of the field.

Volcanism in the Vitim volcanic field dates back to the Miocene and covers an area of about 4,500 km2 east of the northern part of Lake Baikal. The most voluminous activity took place from the Miocene to Pleistocene, but a second phase occurred during the Pleistocene and Holocene. The latest dated eruption was at about 810,000 years ago. Most of the volcanic centers are located in the NW part of the field (Johnson et al., 2005). Mantle xenoliths are found in several locations.
