On August 16, 1975, a new fissure opened along the south rift zone of Tolbachik volcano during the "Great Tolbachik Fissure Eruption" of 1975-76.
The following day formation of the third of a group of new cinder cones at the northern end of the rift zone began.
Formation of the first cone began on July 6 and ended on August 9, the day that the second cone began erupting.
The eruption occurred along a fissure system that extends 70 km SSW of Plosky Tolbachik volcano.
