Yantarni

Estratovolcán · United States · 1345 m

Yantarni is located on the Alaska Peninsula, with this view from the east showing the lava dome at the summit. On either side of the dome are remnants of a large crater that opens to the NE, which formed during flank collapse about 2,000-3,500 years ago.

Resumen geológico

Yantarni is a small andesitic stratovolcano located between Aniakchak caldera and Chiginadak volcanoes that was not discovered until 1979. A large breached crater on the NE side, formed by collapse of the summit about 2000-3500 years ago, contains a lava dome that marks the summit. This eruption, which resembled that of Mount St. Helens in 1980, began with a debris avalanche produced by the edifice collapse that was accompanied by a possible lateral blast and followed by the emplacement of 1 km3 of pyroclastic flows related to growth of the summit lava dome.

Resumen de Wikipedia

Resumen en inglés

Yantarni Volcano is an andesitic stratovolcano in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is on the Alaska Peninsula, in the Aleutian Range, between Mount Aniakchak and Mount Chiginagak volcanoes. The volcano was not discovered until 1979 due to its remote location, lack of documented historic activity, and its rather modest summit elevation. The mountain was named after nearby Yantarni Bay, which in turn was named by Russian explorers after the abundance of amber in the area.
