Abstract. The paper provides information on the objectives, methods, targets and some preliminary results of the expeditionary work carried out within the framework of the RSF project No.21-17-00049 by the employees of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the FEB RAS, Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics of the FEB RAS, Pacific Geographical Institute of the FEB RAS and Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum-Gas Geology and Geophysics of the SB RAS in 2022 and 2023. The main objectives of the expedition were geological-volcanological, hydrogeological, geophysical, tephrochronological, and paleoseismological studies. In accordance with the set objectives, field teams were formed, which began work in February 2022. On the basis of the data obtained during the expedition, previously unknown hydrothermal manifestations and seismic events on Iturup Island were identified. A number of geophysical and paleomagnetic surveys were carried out.
