Verkhovoy, a small Quaternary basaltic to basaltic andesite shield-like volcano in the central Sredinny Range, is dwarfed by its massive neighbor to the NNE, Alney-Chashakondzha. 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.
