Description

From Miller and others (1998): "Fisher caldera is 11 km wide by 18 km long, and has a maximum internal relief of 929 m. It is one of at least three volcanoes on Unimak Island that have been active in historical time.
"The caldera is remarkable in size - one of the largest calderas in the Aleutian arc - and for the mobility of the ash flows that resulted from the caldera-forming eruption about 9100 years ago (Miller and Smith, 1977; 1987). The ash flows reached the Pacific Ocean 8 km to the southeast, and swept part way up the slopes of stratovolcanoes to the east and southwest. To the north, ash flows crossed 15 km of lowland to reach the Tugamak Range, surmounted drainage divides as much as 400 m above the lowland surface in the range, and continued northward an additional 8 km to the Bering Sea coastline. Miller and Smith (1977) inferred that the ash flows had unusually high velocities to cross such topographic barriers and suggested that the high velocities resulted by ash fall-back from a high eruption column.
"Fisher caldera was the location of a large andesitic stratovolcano that was largely destroyed during caldera formation. Very little study has been done on the caldera itself. Post-caldera activity of Fisher caldera appears to consist of dome emplacement and eruption of lava flows and associated pyroclastic material, some of which may be historical in age (Miller and Smith, 1977)."

Name Origin

Fisher Caldera was named for Bernard Fisher of the U.S. Geological Survey, who lost his life in Umnak Pass while investigating the volcanic geology of the Aleutian Islands (U.S. Geographic Names Informaion System, accessed January 14, 2009.

Fisher 1795

1795

From Veniaminov (1840, translated by Lydia T. Black and R.H. Geoghegan, 1984): "The low peak in the interior of Unimak Island, near its south end, burned until the upheaval of the southwest range, in 1795, then was extinguished." Possibly Veniaminov is referring to Fisher Caldera.

Fisher 1826/10

October 11, 1826 — January 1827

Khlebnikov (translated in 1994) writes of a volcano that is possibly Fisher caldera: "On 12 October 1826 the crest of another mountain [not Shishaldin or Isanotski] on the southwest side of the island [Unimak] was ruptured with horrible thunder-like noise, throwing out a lot of ash which was carried by the then blowing east wind and dropped over various places on Unalashka Island. The residents of Unimak Island sat in their yurts for ten days with lights, because it was impossible to go outside because of the blowing ash, which, entering the eyes and nose, caused an unbearable headache. During all this time, no daylight was visible. The condition of the atmosphere at that time would have given an amateur observer an understanding of atoms."
Veniaminov (1840, translated by Lydia T. Black and R.H. Geoghegan, 1984) also writes: "On October 11, 1826, with a dull noise, it [the low peak in the interior of Unimak Island] burst, emitting strong flames and a large quantity of ash of whitish color, which covered part of Aliaksa, Sannakh, and the islands closest to the latter, and was carried even to Unga. (This same ash caused the destruction of the wild pigs on Chernoburyi Island and the decrease of the caribou.) Since that time, the scattered large, extremely hot rocks, which lie about in heaps, have emitted incessant smoke. Around this peak burning sulphur may be found. All streams and swamps about this area are so hot that they steam constantly."
Subsequent compilers have used Veniaminov's October 11, 1826 date as the start of the eruption rather than Khlebnikov's October 12 date.
Stelling and others (2005) state: "The most likely deposit related to this eruption is a thin, fine-grained, black scoria within the vegetation mat distributed across the central portion of the caldera. The fresh apperance of the summit of Mt. Finch and the limited dispersal of the scoria layer suggest that the eruption emanated from this cone."

Fisher 1830/8

August 1830

Veniaminov (1840, translated by Lydia T. Black and R.H. Geoghegan, 1984), writing of a peak that may be Fisher caldera, reports that in "August, 1830, the summit of this peak exploded again, but without any other special phenomena."
