Maly Semyachik Elevation 1,560 m (5,118 ft) Location Location Kamchatka, Russia Coordinates 54°08′N 159°40′E / 54.13°N 159.67°E Geology Type Stratovolcano within a caldera Last eruption 1952 Maly Semyachik (Russian: Малый Семячик) is a stratovolcano located in the eastern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is a compound stratovolcano located in a 10-km-wide caldera within the 15x20 km mid-Pleistocene Stena-Soboliny caldera. Three overlapping stratovolcanoes were constructed sequentially along a NE-SW line, with the youngest cone, Tseno-Semyachik, at the southwest end. A hot, acidic crater lake fills the historically active Troitsky Crater, which formed during a large explosive eruption of Ceno-Semiachik about 400 years ago.
