Thick sequence of Kasatochi 2008 deposits exposed along east-northeast coast. By August 2009 the sea cliff had retreated to expose bedrock of pre-eruption sea cliff (see image 19096). Lower massive to faintly bedded, yellowish-gray pyroclastic flow deposits are dry, friable and failing in slides, topples, and slumps. Pre-2008 lava flow exposed on skyline.
