The only historically known eruption occurred on January 2, 1996, when basaltic and rhyolite material with an estimated volume of 40 million cubic meters was ejected from craters near the north-northwest side of the caldera during an explosive eruption . Earlier eruptions in the area north of Lake Karymskoye were based on radiocarbon studies to about 950 BC.
