| (8) Volcano Location: |
N 55 deg 11 min W 162 deg 16 min |
| (9) Area: |
Alaska Peninsula |
| (10) Summit Elevation: |
4833 ft (1473 m) |
| (11) Volcanic Activity Summary: |
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) has reestablished seismic monitoring instruments at Mount Dutton and can now confidently monitor seismic unrest at the volcano. With renewed seismic monitoring, the volcano moves from "UNASSIGNED" to Volcano Alert Level NORMAL and Aviation Color Code GREEN. As at other Alaska volcanoes, AVO will continue to use satellite, infrasound, and lightning data, and reports from pilots and ground observers to detect signs of eruptive activity. |
| (12) Volcanic cloud height: |
Not applicable |
| (13) Other volcanic cloud information: |
Not applicable |
| (14) Remarks: |
Mount Dutton is located near the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and lies jointly within the Izembek Wilderness Area and the Alaska Peninsula Wildlife Refuge. Dutton is a snow- and ice-covered stratovlocano which rises to an elevation of 4833 feet. Although it has no historic eruptive activity, intense earthquake swarms occurred at the volcano in 1984 and 1988. Dutton is located 14 km (9 miles) north of King Cove and 30 km (19 miles) east of Cold Bay. |
