Aerial photo of the summit of Gareloi volcano, looking south. Kavalga Island is in the upper left for reference. The enclosed crater sits atop the volcano's north peak, which is its true summit. Note the relatively snow-free area on the north side of the cone. Beyond the north peak crater, the north rim of the south peak crater is visible, with a white steam plume coming from the persistent fumarole on the west rim of the south peak crater.

Gareloi 2021 unrest
On June 8, 2021, citing a slight increase in seismic activity at Mount Gareloi (Gareloi volcano) beginning on May 18, AVO raised the aviation color code to YELLOW and the Volcano Alert Level to ADVISORY. At that time, there were no other notable changes at the volcano in satellite data or web camera views. Sulfur dioxide gas was detected in satellite imagery from Gareloi over the past week and is consistent with measurements from the last several years. No activity was observed by an AVO field crew flying over the summit on May 23, 2021.
