Akutan 1852/9
Start: September 1, 1852 [1]
Event Type: Explosive
- Flank eruption [1]
Description: Davidson (1884), speaking of two peaks on Akutan: "I made a sketch of them in 1867, when the eastern one was smoking, and I was then informed by one of the Russian-American navigators that on the night of Sept. 1, 1852, he saw one or two eruptions form the northwest side of these two cones. Frequently fire and great noises issue from the eastern peak."
