Viliuchinsky region 

 

Holocene cinder cones at the plateau 14 km north of Viliuchinsky volcano. Cinder cones are sitting on the uplifted  block of eroded Pliocene-Miocene rocks. Mt. Barkhatnaya ("Velvet"), which formed between 3 and 4 ka BP, is at the left. Two Early Holocene cinder cones are at the right. White hill between Barkhatnaya and the Early Holocene cinder cone is a part of eroded rhyolite sub-volcanic body.
