Uka, a small Quaternary basaltic shield-like volcano, was constructed near the eastern margin of a large NE-SW-trending graben along the axis of the northern Sredinny Range. It is immediately east of the crest of the Sredinny Range, opposite Alngey volcano on the western side of the graben. 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.
