A group of basaltic cinder cones is located north of Kharchinsky volcano in the lowlands SW of Sheveluch volcano. The cones and lava flows cover a broad area north of Kharchinsky and form a peninsula extending into Lake Kharchinsky. They are part of the arcuate Kharchinsky regional zone of more than 100 cinder cones, lava cones, tuyas, and explosion craters that extends across both Kharchinsky and Zarechny volcanoes and were formed during a later volcanic cycle unrelated to Kharchinsky (Erlich, 1985 pers. comm.). The cones were initially considered to be late-Pleistocene to Holocene (Luchitsky, 1974), but later tephrochronological studies showed them to be late Pleistocene (Volynets et al., 1999).
