Veniaminof Daily Update for 2/26/08

Published by Travis at 8:21 pm under America's Volcanoes, Veniaminof

Current Veniaminof status from AVO:

VENIAMINOF VOLCANO (CAVW #1102-07-)
56°11′52″ N 159°23′35″ W, Summit Elevation 8225 ft (2507 m)
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY

Seismicity remains above normal. Partly cloudy webcam views show steaming from the active intracaldera cinder cone.

There are no indications that more vigorous activity is imminent or even likely. Small ash bursts are typical of activity at Veniaminof over the past several years. We expect that steam and ash emissions to continue intermittently posing a hazard to people and low-flying aircraft in the vicinity of the active cone.

AVO will continue to monitor activity at Mount Veniaminof using seismic data, satellite images, internet camera data and observer reports.
