Kanaga 1904

Start: 1904 [1]

Event Type: Effusive

Event Characteristics:
  • Radial fissure [2]
Description: Jaggar (1927) writes that Kanaga was "very active" in 1904. Coats (1950) speculates that the southern flow on Kanaga was perhaps emitted in 1904 from the upper south flank. Miller and others (1998) combine this 1904 eruption with the 1906 eruption as one event.
