The tallest mountain

Kliuchevskoi

The tallest mountain (also transliterated from Cyrillic as Klyuchevskoy, 4835M) in Russia's far eastern Kamchatka peninsula is also its most active stratovolcano, with a fairly continuous record of eruption during the last 6,000 years. Its eruption products are basaltic, accounting for about half of Kamchatka's total yearly output, and the mountain is surrounded by flank vents and scoria cones.
