Volcanodle
Puzzle #77 was Bliznetsy.
The Bliznetsy ("Twins") lava flows occupy a low-lying area east of the Sredinny Range and north of the Eastern Volcanic Zone volcanoes. The young flows lie south of the Ozernaya River about 80 km north of historically active Sheveluch volcano. Effusion of about 0.5 km3 of lava flows about 3000 years ago was preceded by weak phreatomagmatic eruptions.

Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
