Makushin 1880

Start: 1880 [1]

Event Type: Other

Event Characteristics:

Description: Petroff (1884) reports that Veniaminov reported earthquakes at Makushin in 1880. This is certainly an error, as Veniaminof died in 1879. Becker (1898) reports Makushin was steaming during 1880. It is uncertain if the steam and earthquake are associated with a volcanic eruption from Makushin in 1880.
