Description

From Wood and Kienle (1990) [1] : "The Stepovak Bay group is a chain of five volcanoes at the southwest end of a N40E oriented linear segment of the Aleutian arc on the Alaska Peninsula. This same segment includes the better known Veniaminof and Aniakchak calderas. Three of the Stepovak Bay volcanoes (2, 4, and Kupreanof) have clearly had Holocene eruptions, resulting in three small debris flows filling late Pleistocene glacial valleys, and a small cinder cone and associated lava flow. The other two volcanoes (1 and 3) do not show unmistakable evidence of Holocene activity. They have ice-filled summit craters 500 m (1) and 300 m (3) in diameter that may be late Pleistocene age. These volcanoes have contributed to extensive late Tertiary and Quaternary lava flows, some extending near sea level.
"Kupreanof is the largest and best known volcano of the group. In 1982, reconnaissance mapping located the three southernmost volcanoes. Later work further delineated these three, and located an additional center (4). Mapping and K-Ar dating indicate the area has been the locus of voluminous volcanic activity for approximately the last 4 million years. A fumarole occurs at Kupreanof volcano; another has been reported on volcano 4. Air photos from the late 1940s also suggest the presence of a fumarole on volcano 1.
"Northwest of the line of volcanoes a projected fault vertically offsets the volcanoes from flows that are related to the early history of the centers. These flows, which dip away from the centers, yield K-Ar ages between 3.9 and 1.7 Ma. Along the trend, and 7 to 12 km southwest of the volcanoes, is another area of early (?) Quaternary flows possibly related to a yet unrecognized center; outcrops of hypabyssal rocks in a snowfield among these flows may be this center. The group of volcanoes overlies sedimentary rocks of Oligocene to late Miocene age; the southern centers also overlie thick tuff deposits of uncertain but presumably late Tertiary or early Quaternary age."

Kupreanof Eruption Timeline

Kupreanof 1987/3

March 10, 1987

From Neal and others (1995): "Kupreanof is a deeply eroded stratovolcano with no known historical eruptions. Holocene debris avalanche deposits have been recognized, however, and there is a vigorous fumarolic area marked by sulfur deposits at an elevation of 1,524 m (5,000 ft). Steaming from Kupreanof has been noted in the literature as 'eruption reports' in the past (Smithsonian Institution, 1987).
The Smithsonian Institution (1987) reports that "MarkAir pilot Jerry Chisum observed ash and steam emission from a solfatara field on the SSW flank [of Kupreanof]."

Kupreanof 1994/7

July 22, 1994

From Neal and others (1995): "Kupreanof is a deeply eroded stratovolcano with no known historical eruptions. Holocene debris avalanche deposits have been recognized, however, and there is a vigorous fumarolic area marked by sulfur deposits at an elevation of 1,524 m (5,000 ft). Steaming from Kupreanof has been noted in the literature as 'eruption reports' in the past (Smithsonian Institution, 1987).
"* * * On July 22, a pilot reported a steam plume over Kupreanof reaching an altitude of 2,400 m (8,000 ft). Although steaming from Kupreanof has been noted for at least the last 50 years, the robustness of the plume was considered unusual by this veteran pilot. No SIGMETS were issued by NWS, however, as no ash was detected. AVO took no further action."

Kupreanof 2015/4

April 11, 2015

From Dixon and others, 2017: "A mariner report of 'black smoke northwest of Ivanof Bay' was received at AVO on April 11, 2015. The probable source of the observation is Kupreanof Volcano where a known fumarolic field has persisted for decades (Yount and others, 1985b). Although reports from Kupreanof are uncommon, steaming from Kupreanof has been noted for at least the last 75 years and was last reported in the AVO annual summaries in 1994 (Neal and others, 1995). AVO took no further action on this isolated report."
