Volcano:
Collector: Kaufman, D. S.
Date visited:
NAD83 latitude: 59.47
NAD83 longitude: -161.11998

Location description: Lacustrine core from Arolik Lake in the Ahklun Mountains, southwest Alaska. The cores contain interbeds of mud and detrital organic material and at least six prominent tephra layers. The tephras appear as distinct beds of angular, very fine to medium sand-sized pumice grains, glass shards, and primary minerals. See Kaufman et al. (2003) for detailed description.
