Tolbachik is a volcanic complex on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of Russia, just west of Alaska. Tolbachik consists of two volcanoes, Plosky (flat) Tolbachik (3,085 m) and Ostry (sharp) Tolbachik (3,682 m). Ostry is the mountain’s highest point, the entire mountain is often referred to as “Ostry Tolbachik”, not to be confused with Ostry a separate volcano to the north also on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

On November 27, 2012 an eruption started from two fissures of a strombolian type. Basaltic lava flows moving relatively fast and had already flooded some buildings about two miles away. Eruption continued for more than a month, as lava continued to flow from the fissures. Lava flowed up to 12 miles from a line of fissures on the volcano’s southern flank. The eruption continued through January 2, 2013.
