Katmai 1929/12

Start: December 1929 [1]

Event Type: Not an eruption

Event Characteristics:
  • Fumarolic or hydrothermal activity [2]

Description: Jaggar (1932) reported that "volcanoes of the Katmai group continued fuming" in 1929, and Coats (1950) reported Katmai active in December, 1929. However, Hildreth (1983) states: "Published compilations notwithstanding, there are no credible reports of historic eruptions in the Katmai group except at Novarupta in 1912 and at Trident in 1953 - 1968."
