Description

From Smithsonian Institution, online database, accessed December 8, 2003: "Mount Steller is part of a chain of closely spaced NE-SW-trending vents in Katmai National Park and lies between Mount Denision and Kukak volcanoes. Uncertainty surrounds the number and location of volcanic vents in this heavily glaciated area. The precise age of the most recent activity at Steller volcano is not known, but the volcano was considered to have been active during the Holocene [1] ."

Name Origin

Mount Steller was named in 1928 by the U.S. Geological Survey, for George Wilhelm Steller, a naturalist with Vitus Bering's 1741 voyage (Orth, 1971).
