Gas-and-steam plumes (center) rise from the upper SSW flanks of Kupreanof. This is the largest and NE-most of a group of five relatively close Quaternary volcanic centers opposite Stepovak Bay. The only reported activity from Kupreanof consisted of minor steam and ash emission in 1987.

Ringkasan geologi

Kupreanof is the largest and NE-most of a group of five relatively closely spaced Quaternary volcanic centers opposite Stepovak Bay. A debris flow or block-and-ash flow with possible juvenile fragments descended a late-Pleistocene valley south of the volcano. This stratovolcano displays vigorous fumarolic activity, and although a "grayish-brown ash horizon" extending 15 km was reported by a pilot in 1987 after emissions from a SSW-flank solfatara field, the cause of this event is uncertain.

Ringkasan Wikipedia

Ringkasan Inggris

Mount Kupreanof is a stratovolcano on the Alaska Peninsula, United States. It is the largest and the northeasternmost in a group of five volcanoes opposite from Stepovak Bay. Mount Kupreanof displays extremely strong fumarole activity and its latest eruption in 1987 produced minor steam and ash emission. This is the only known historical eruption from Mount Kupreanof, although the event is considered questionable according to sources.
