Monday, March 9, 2026, 11:18 AM AKDT (Monday, March 9, 2026, 19:18 UTC)
WESTDAHL (VNUM #311340)
54°31'2" N 164°38'51" W, Summit Elevation 5118 ft (1560 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Current Aviation Color Code: GREEN
Restoration of power in the City of Cold Bay has enabled the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) to reestablish real-time data from seismic monitoring instruments at Westdahl 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 monitor seismic, satellite, infrasound, and lightning data, and reports from pilots and ground observers to detect signs of eruptive activity.

54°40'9" N 164°21'9" W, Summit Elevation 3648 ft (1112 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Current Aviation Color Code: GREEN
