54°03'N, 159°27'E, summit elevation 1486 m; Last eruption 2007-2009 (periodical emissions)
Principal hazards are ash plumes, ash falls, lava and pyroclastic flows, hot avalanches. The volcanically dangerous zone threatened by lava and pyroclastic flows and hot avalanches will be limited to the caldera. A height of eruptive columns can reach 10 km ASL but ash plumes are rising, mainly, up to 2.5-3 km ASL.
Activity of the volcano represents danger basically for local airlines.
Ash falls possible at settlements:
Milkovo (90 km to the north-west from the volcano)
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (115 km to the south-south-east).
Karymsky is the stratovolcano (a regular cone with two small summit craters) is located into caldera’s central part.
This is one of the most active volcanoes of the Eastern zone. The eruptive style is represented with explosive and explosive-effusive eruptions. The major type of eruptions is Vulcanian, at some periods – Vulcanian-Strombolian.
