The Quaternary basaltic to basaltic andesite shield-like Iktunup was constructed 5 km west of the lower, but larger shield of Tunipilyakum. The two volcanoes are located immediately NW and NE, respectively, of the Pleistocene Keveney volcano. 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.
