Abstract


This paper discusses the results of study of pumice deposits between volcanoes Gorely and Mutnovskiy on Kamchatka. A scheme of the pumice sheets is presented. The results of petrochemical and geochemical studies of pumice and acidic lavas of Mutnovsky and Gorely are discussed. A number of petrogeochemical pumice features indicating their possible genetic isolation is revealed.

Keywords
