Description:
Manifestations of recent volcanism in the Greater
Caucasus are grouped in the El’brus and Kazbek volcanic
areas [1]. The last episodes of activity in the majority
of their eruptive centers date back to the Late
Holocene or even first centuries of the recent era
(El’brus Volcano) [2]. This implies potential volcanic
hazards in the Greater Caucasus. Therefore, it is important
to outline contours of this potentially hazardous
region with the maximal possible accuracy. The region
is characterized by indications of geodynamic stress,
such as recent eruptions, crustal deformations, seismic
activity, geothermal anomalies, and others. The 3He/4He value in natural gases can serve as one of such
indications.
