RussiaMap, activity and eruption history
The Holocene catalogue of the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program lists 107 volcanoes in Russia. This page brings together the map, report status, eruption history and the surroundings of every single volcano. None of them currently has a running eruption report.

“Last eruption” is a catalogue record, not evidence of activity in progress.
Eruptions with fatalities, damage or high explosivity from the NOAA NCEI database of significant volcanic eruptions.
The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) runs from 0 (effusive) to 8 (super-eruptive). Each step stands for roughly ten times the erupted mass.
Documented eruptions since 1500. Earlier centuries are recorded less completely, so a rise also reflects better observation.
10 events in the last 30 days within 50 km of a volcano in Russia.
Spatial proximity does not establish a volcanic origin. Many events in volcanic regions are tectonic.
What the volcanic landscape of Russia is made of and which tectonic setting it sits in.
Airports with scheduled service and nuclear power plant sites near a volcano in Russia.
No site from the included datasets lies within this radius.
This selection shows geographic proximity, not a hazard zone or confirmed impacts.
Short descriptions of the country's best-known volcanoes.
Mount Elbrus is the highest mountain in Russia and Europe. It is a dormant stratovolcano rising 5,642 m (18,510 ft) above sea level, and is the highest volcano in Eurasia, as well as the tenth-most prominent peak in the world. It is situated in the southern Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria in the western extension of Ciscaucasia, and is the highest peak of the Caucasus Mountains.
Klyuchevskaya Sopka is an active stratovolcano, the highest mountain of Siberia and the highest active volcano of Eurasia. Its steep, symmetrical cone rises roughly 100 kilometres (60 mi) inland from the Bering Sea. The volcano is part of the Volcanoes of Kamchatka UNESCO World Heritage Site. Klyuchevskaya Sopka is ranked 15th in the world by topographic isolation.
Kamen is a dormant stratovolcano located in the southern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, flanked by Bezymianny and Kluchevskaya. It is the second highest volcano of Kamchatka and sits above a shield volcano next to its neighboring volcanos. While the proximity between Kamen and its neighbors are relatively close, the lavas produced by all of them is different.
Ushkovsky is a large volcanic massif located in the central part of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is located at the northwestern end of the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano group. These volcanoes are also set in a chain linked formation. The highest peak of this massif is Krestovsky. Krestovsky is a stratovolcano, Ushkovsky is a shield volcano.
Tolbachik is a volcanic complex on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of Russia. It consists of two volcanoes, Plosky (flat) Tolbachik and Ostry (sharp) Tolbachik, which as the names suggest are respectively a flat-topped shield volcano and a peaked stratovolcano. As Ostry is the mountain's highest point, the entire mountain is often referred to as "Ostry Tolbachik", not to be confused with Ostry, a separate volcano to the north also on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Ichinsky is a large stratovolcano located in the central part of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. At 3,607 metres (11,834 ft), it is the highest peak of the Sredinny Range, the central range of the peninsula. Ichinsky is also among the largest volcanoes in Kamchatka, with a volume of about 450 cubic kilometres (110 cu mi).
