(9) Area: | Aleutians |
(10) Summit Elevation: | 5925 ft (1806 m) |
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary: | Low power likely due to snow cover has resulted in loss of operation and communication with all but two seismic stations on Tanaga. As a result, the Alaska Volcano Observatory can no longer locate earthquakes that could indicate unrest at Tanaga, and the Aviation Color Code and the Volcano Alert Level are now designated as UNASSIGNED. Additional seismic stations may come back online this spring as snowpack decreases. Any eruptive activity or unrest may still be detected with the remaining seismic stations, in regional infrasound networks, through detection of lightning, and/or monitoring of satellite images. |
