Tolmachev Dol (Russian: Толмачев Дол) (Tolmachev Plateau) is a volcanic highland located in the southern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, northeast of Opala volcano. The cones and lava fields cover a broad area around Lake Tolmachev.

Tolmachev Dol is a large volcanic field,[1] consisting of cinder cones and lava flows (GVP). It has principally erupted andesite and dacite.[2]

Activity in the volcanic field commenced during the Pleistocene (GVP). The Chasha crater was the site of a large eruption about 4,609 ± 33 years before present, which ejected about of ash over an area of . This ash was formerly attributed to the Opala volcano.[3] 300 CE, the last eruption took place (GVP).
