Shiveluch
an active volcano on Kamchatka. Shiveluch has an elevation of 3,283 m and is composed of andesites and basalts. A Pelée-type volcano, it discharges very hot clouds of gas and ash together with lava fragments. Eruptions have occurred in 1790, 1854,1879–83,1896–98,1905,1927–29,1944–50, and 1964. Up to an elevation of 750 m, the slopes of Shiveluch are covered with forests and thickets of dwarf stone pine; at higher elevations, meadows and lava-ash surfaces are found.
