This study describes the history of formation of Karymskii Volcano from the moment of its emergence. The age of volcano and the caldera where it is located was determined as 6100 (5300 14C) years and 7700 14C years, respectively. Dynamics of the volcano's activity was reconstructed according to absolute chronological scale. Duration of the periods of higher volcanic activity and repose was determined. Large eruptions were dated. Fluctuations in intensity of evacuation of material along with variations in composition of volcanic products were estimated. It has been shown that recent increase in activity started 500 years ago. Analysis of reconstructed dynamics of activity indicated that it would continue not less than 200 years. The character of eruptions is supposed to be close to the recent one.

We studied the tectonic setting, morphology, geological structure, the history of eruptive activity and the evolution of the composition of the erupted material of Kizimen volcano (Kamchatka) from the moment of its origination (12-11 thousand years ago) to the present time. Four cycles 2-3,5 thousand years long each were distinguished that characterize the activity of the volcano. All largest eruptions were dated, their parameters determined. We also estimated the volume and the mase of the erupted products, volcanic intensity of evacuation of material during-periods of high activity and productivity of the volcano at different stages of its formation. It has been shown that evolution of the composition of the rocks erupted (from dacite to basaltic andesite) takes place as a result of mixing of dacitic and basaltic magma. It is proposed that future eruptions that may take place at Kizimen will be similar to those at Bandai (1888) and Mount St. Helens (1980) volcanoes.
