A complex volcanic edifice, consisting of two merged cones, is located in an ancient caldera with a diameter of 9 km. The southern cone (1856 m) has a summit crater 800 m in diameter. The younger Northern cone (1760 m) has a telescopic structure: two nested cones are located in the center of the 2 km diameter caldera. The height of the smallest of them is 150 m, the diameter of its crater is 60 m.
