Kizimen is an isolated, conical Stratovolcano that is morphologically similar to Mount St.
Helens prior to its 1980 eruption.
When the magma reaches the
surface, it often builds a volcanic mountain, such as a shield volcano or a Stratovolcano.
Situated along the border between Argentina and
Chile at an elevation of 22,608 feet, the Stratovolcano was first climbed in 1937.
The Japan Meteorological Agency(JMA)
reported that during 25-31 October activity at Shinmoedake(Shinmoe peak), a Stratovolcano of the Kirishimayama volcano group, continued to be slightly elevated.
A 3-km-wide caldera breached to the E was formed by edifice collapse and is partially filled by a young,
unvegetated Stratovolcano that rises about 1,300 m above the caldera floor.

JMA reported that the eruption at Shinmoe-dake(Shinmoe peak), a Stratovolcano of the Kirishimayama volcano group,
began on 11 October and lasted almost continuously until the morning of 17 October.
An explosive eruption at Iwo-yama(also called Ioyama,
NW flank of Karakuni-dake), a Stratovolcano of the Kirishimayama volcano group,
occurred at 1555 on 19 April prompting JMA to raise the Alert Level to 3(on a scale of 1-5).
