Raikoke Island

Russia / Sahalin / Severo-Kurilsk /
 island, volcano

Raikoke, also spelled Raykoke, is an uninhabited volcanic island.

Raikoke is roughly circular, with a length of 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) with a width of 2.0 kilometres (1.2 mi), and an area of 4.6 square kilometres (1.8 sq mi). The island is a stratovolcano which rises above a submarine terrace with a depth of 130 metres to a maximum height of 551 metres (1,808 ft) above sea level. The steep-walled crater is 700 metres wide and 200 meters deep, and lava flows extend along the eastern half of the island. The volcano erupted explosively in 1778, destroying the upper third of the island. The volcano remains active, erupting strongly in 1924 and again in 2019.
