Koshelev volcano is located SW of Pauzhetka volcano-tectonic depression in southern Kamchatka. The saddle between Koshelev and Kambalny volcanoes hosts numerous small lakes, and has tundra and meadow vegetation.
The relative height of the volcano is 1500 m and it has a volume of 3 cubic km. Seasonal snow covers canyons up to 15 m deep, and this will provide a lahar hazard if future eruptions occur in winter.
