(9) Area: | Alaska Peninsula |
(10) Summit Elevation: | 4836 ft (1474 m) |
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary: | The Alaska Volcano Observatory can no longer seismically monitor Ugashik-Peulik because of seismic station outages. As a result, AVO is unable to assess seismic unrest at this volcano. Because it is no longer seismically monitored, AVO will move from volcano alert level NORMAL and aviation color code GREEN to "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. |
