Summit part of the Northern cone of Krasheninnikov volcano. Explosive crater of a small stratovolcano hosts a dacitic lava cone Pauk ("Spider"), which formed only few hundreds of years ago. Inner wall of the crater exposes lavas and tephra; some tephra layers are welded and have typical fiamme. Rim of the large Late Pleistocene caldera, enclosing Krasheninnikov volcano, and Kronotsky Lake are at the background.
