PAVLOF VOLCANO (VNUM #312030)
55°25'2" N 161°53'37" W, Summit Elevation 8261 ft (2518 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

Unrest continues at Pavlof Volcano. Moderately elevated surface temperatures were observed in clear satellite imagery over the past 24 hours. Clear web camera views showed occasional steaming at the summit of the volcano. Nothing significant was detected in seismic or pressure sensor data during the past day.

The degree of unrest at Pavlof can change quickly, and it remains possible for ash and steam emissions to begin with little or no warning. AVO is closely monitoring the volcano.

Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

Low-level unrest continues at Mount Cleveland. Nothing of note was observed in clear satellite data over the past day. Clear web camera views showed minor steaming at the summit of the volcano. No significant activity was detected in seismic or pressure sensor data during the past 24 hours.

OTHER ALASKA VOLCANOES

Other Alaska volcanoes show no signs of significant unrest: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/

AVO scientists conduct daily checks of earthquake activity at all seismically-monitored volcanoes, examine web camera and satellite images for evidence of airborne ash and elevated surface temperatures, and consult other monitoring data as needed.
