Kambalny volcano from the northeast. The volcano is sitting on the south tip of  Late Pleistocene volcanic ridge (right), just on the south rim of a 5x3.5-km-large Late Pleistocene landslide crater, carved into hydrothermally altered rocks of the ridge. A large debris avalanche originated from the crater about 6000 ¹⁴C yrs BP involving also the rocks of the Holocene edifice; some more smaller landslides occurred later on. The hummocks at the foreground are lava flows, which formed soon after the large 6000 ¹⁴C yrs BP collapse. Hummocks at the right are the debris avalanche deposit.
