The Tri Sestry ("Three Sisters") volcanic complex is located in the center of Urup Island, in the south-central Kuril Islands. Erosion of this andesitic massif has cut deep ravines on the flanks and produced multiple peaks around a river valley open to the NNE. The southern range of those peaks is known as Petr Shmidt Ridge. A summit lava dome was considered by Gorshkov (1970) to have been active during either the late Pleistocene or early Holocene; hot springs were reported along the coast to the NW. No later research is known that describes or dates eruption deposits.
