Alngey, a small Quaternary stratovolcano, is immediately east of the large Pleistocene Tekletunup shield volcano, west of the crest of the northern Sredinny Range. It was constructed near the western margin of a large NE-SW-trending graben running along the axis of the Sredinny Range. 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.
