Bolshoi-Kekuknaysky (also Bolshaya-Kekuknaysky) is a volcano located in the central part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It comprises two shield volcanoes: Bolshoi (1301 m) and Kekuknaysky (1401 m). Their lava flows and cinder cones have dammed a valley dissecting the mountain, creating the Bolshoe Gol’tsovoe and Maloe Gol’tsovoe lakes. The last eruption occurred at Kekuk Crater, about 7,200 years ago.
