Akademia Nauk caldera in central Kamchatka, seen here from the slopes of Karymsky volcano looking SW, is one of two overlapping calderas formed during the late Pleistocene within the 15-km-wide Polovinka caldera. The snow-capped ridge to the upper left is the southern rim of Odnoboky caldera, and the northern rim is truncated by the Akademia Nauk. Karymsky Lake fills the 3 x 5 km Akademia Nauk caldera that most recently erupted in 1996.
