Ostry (Russian: Острый) is a stratovolcano located in the northern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It comprises higher Ostry volcano and smaller Kutina volcano. Ostry is one of the highest peaks of Sredinny Range.
An unnamed 2127-m-high cinder cone on the SW flank of Ostry, informally referred to as "Cone X," erupted about 4000 years ago, producing a basaltic lava flow. [1]
