Kronotsky (Russian: Кроноцкая сопка, Kronotskaya Sopka) is a major stratovolcano of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It has a particularly symmetrical conical shape, comparable to Mount Fuji in Japan and to Mayon Volcano in the Philippines. The summit crater is plugged by a volcanic neck, and the summit itself is ice capped. It exhibits the classic radial drainage pattern, extending downward from its crater. Kronotsky is considered to be the one of the most scenic volcanos in Kamchatka.^[2] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 600 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (640 × 640 pixel, file size: 175 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Mount Kronotskaya, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia - November 1985 image description From english wikipedia by User:Darwinek File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete...
