Kupreanof

Stratovolkan · United States · 1895 m

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.
