The pyroclastic-flow deposit, or ignimbrite, that was ejected during the caldera-forming eruption covers large parts of Semisopochnoi Island, and it can be identified by its fairly flat but incised morphology where it has been covered by younger tephra.

Aug 4, 2023 · "An historic eruption of Semisopochnoi was reported in 1873, and at least four others may have occurred in the previous hundred years, but documentation is scanty. These eruptions apparently emanated from the flanks of Mount Cerberus; the most recent flow appears to be less than a century old."

Semisopochnoi, the largest subaerial volcano of the western Aleutians, is 20 km wide at sea level and contains an 8-km-wide caldera. It formed as a result of collapse of a low-angle, dominantly basaltic volcano following the eruption of a large volume of dacitic pumice.

Aug 12, 2011 · Semisopochnoi, the youngest volcanic island in the western Aleutians, made of a shield volcano, a caldera, and several younger stratovolcanoes.. Known eruptions occurred in 1873 and 1987. Four unconfirmed eruptions occurred between 1772 and 1830.

Feb 6, 2021 · The following day, ash emissions declined, and Semisopochnoi Island was lowered to ORANGE and WATCH. The activity at the volcano for the rest of the year consisted of low-level ash emissions, seismic tremor, phreatomagmatic explosions, and many satellite SO2 detections.

Aug 22, 2022 · ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The Alaska Volcano Observatory reported that a short-lived explosion of the Semisophochnoi Volcano occurred Sunday afternoon at 1:47 p.m. Webcam images near the volcano show the plume of ash ejecting high into the sky, although satellite imagery showed no visible ash plume.

Semisopochnoi, the largest subaerial volcano of the western Aleutians, is 20 km wide at sea level and contains a caldera 8 km wide that formed as a result of the collapse of a low-angle, dominantly basaltic volcano following the eruption of a large volume of dacitic pumice.

Aug 4, 2023 · An eruption beginning in 1953 constructed the newest cone, Southwest Trident, and four lava flows on the flank of the older complex. This eruption continued through 1974 and produced ash (an initial plume rose to 30,000 ft. or 9 km above sea level), bombs, and lava at …
