USGS Volcano Hazards Program Volcano Update

Seismicity remains slightly above background, but continues to decline gradually. Satellite images of the volcano over the past week have been obscured by clouds and AVO has received no reports of unusual activity at the volcano. The seismic swarm that occurred at Iliamna Volcano in 1996-1997 also exhibited a gradual decline. The episode of elevated seismicity in 1996-1997 did not lead to any type of eruptive activity.
Iliamna volcano is located on the western side of lower Cook Inlet in the Lake Clark National Park. Iliamna is a snow-covered stratovolcano which rises 10,020 feet above sea level. Although steam plumes occur on its eastern flanks, there has been no historic volcanic activity at Iliamna. Iliamna is located 225 km (140 miles) southwest of Anchorage and 113 km (70 miles) northwest of Homer.
