Zavodovski Island is formed by a single 551-m-high basaltic
stratovolcano which has 2 flank cones on the east side. Mount
Curry forms the island's summit west of the center of the
island. 2 fissures extend NE from Mt Curry towards the east-
flank craters, and a lava platform is located along the eastern
coast. Zavodovski is the most frequently visited of the South
Sandwich Islands. It was erupting when first seen in 1819 by the
explorer Bellingshausen, and the volcano has been reported to be
smoking during subsequent visits. (GVP volcano information)
