USGS Volcano Hazards Program Volcano Update


AVO update page and observatory web site


Seismic activity at Iliamna Volcano has been slightly above background throughout the last day. Nothing unusual was observed in mostly cloudy web camera and satellite images.

The current level of activity at Iliamna does not indicate an imminent or certain eruption and seismic activity appears to be declining gradually. A similar seismic swarm occurred at Iliamna Volcano in 1996-1997 and was not followed by eruptive activity. Prior to an eruption, AVO would expect to see a significant increase in earthquake activity beneath the volcano.
