On the 90th Anniversary of the Eruption of the Taketomi Side Volcano (Atlasov Island, Kuril Island Arc).

The eruption of the unique Taketomi side volcano, located on Atlasov Island in the northern part of the Kuril Island arc, began underwater and ended on land. It happened before people's eyes and was, in essence, the formation of a new side volcano. The volcano that formed was studied in 1933–1936 by renowned Japanese scientists, and from 1946 to the present, by Soviet and Russian researchers. The Taketomi side volcano continues to amaze with its landscapes and is actively visited by numerous tourists. Unfortunately, there is still no single publication about people who, to one degree or another, have made a significant contribution to the study of this side volcano. This study is the first attempt to talk about them in lapidary form. In addition, available photographs show the destruction of the Taketomi structure starting in the 1950s until 2020, and for the first time, the existing inconsistencies cited in various publications that describe the eruption of this side volcano are noted.
