Chikurachki
Chikurachki is the highest volcano on Paramushir Island in the northern Kuril Islands. It is actually a relatively small volcanic cone constructed on a high Pleistocene volcanic edifice. Oxidized andesitic scoria deposits covering the upper part of the young cone gives it a distinctive red color. Lava flows from high Chikurachki reached the sea and form capes on the northwest coast; several young lava flows also emerge from beneath the scoria blanket on the eastern flank.
