The Quaternary Leutongey basaltic shield-like volcano is at the south end of a NE-SW-trending graben about 20 km W of the crest of the central Sredinny Range. A chain of cinder cones along the same trend cuts across the summit, and another larger cinder cone is on the S flank. The small basaltic Medveshiy stratovolcano is immediately to the SE. 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 Pevzner (2006) and Ponomareva et al. (2007) do not consider this volcano to be Holocene.
