The small Quaternary shield-like Plosky volcano south of the Bolshaya Kimitina River is SE of Ichinsky near the SE margin of the Sredinny Range. The summit consists of a small basaltic stratovolcano overtopping the lava shield. Early geological studies in the Sredinny Range (Ogorodov et al., 1972) assigned Holocene ages based on morphology, but later work noted that these volcanoes appear younger because they have less tephra cover than those in eastern Kamchatka. Researchers such as Ponomareva et al. (2007) do not consider this volcano to be Holocene.
