USGS Volcano Hazards Program Volcano Update


AVO update page and observatory web site


Satellite and webcam views of Iliamna over the past week were clear to cloudy. No unusual activity was observed or reported. Seismicity remains slightly above background levels.

The current level of activity at Iliamna does not indicate an imminent or certain eruption. Seismic activity, along with gas emissions, appear 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.
