Mutnovsky () is an active complex volcano located in the southern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, approximately 75-80 km south of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The volcano is formed from several cones and lava flows from flank eruptions that have merged into a single massif.
==Geology and structure== Mutnovsky is a complex volcanic edifice consisting of four merged cones. The volcano has two main craters - southwestern and northeastern - each about 2 km in diameter and up to 400 meters deep. The southwestern crater is occupied by a glacier. The main volcanic activity is concentrated in the northwestern part of the massif, where two overlapping craters form a figure-eight shape with a diameter of up to 2 km and a depth of 600 meters.
