Pavlof 1960

Coats (1964) writes about Pavlof: "Reported as quite active for about a year. Probably Strombolian phase." (July 1962-June 1963).
Jacob and Hauksson (1983) report that this eruption began around 1960 and continued until sometime in 1963, and consisted of mild ash eruptions and lava flows.
