Wikipedia

Lvinaya Past (Russian: Львиная Пасть, literally "Lion's Maw", after a rock that emerges from the sea and resembles a sleeping lion), also known as Moekeshiwan (Japanese: 萌消湾), is a volcano in the southern part of Iturup in the Kuril Islands, administered by Russia and claimed by Japan. The volcano is characterized by a large caldera that is flooded by the Sea of Okhotsk. A large eruption occurred early during the Holocene which reached a volcanic explosivity index of 7.
