Hello Scott - It looks like a meterological cloud to us - there was a weather system in that area yesterday that had potential to create atmospheric clouds off topographic highs. This is a common phenomenon but can be quite convincing as a fake volcanic eruption. As a further bit of evidence, the mountains between Juneau and Haines are not volcanic. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Scott Dybdahl wrote: I saw a cloud coming off the top of a mountain and it looked like a smoke stack. The wind was blowing it in a north direction, and you could see the cloud coming off the mountain top was changing as the wind pushed it. Where it came off the top of the mountain didnt change. Curious to find out if anyone has reported this. The mountain i saw was located half way in-between Juneau and Haines, located on the left side of the channel if you were heading up to Haines. Thank you for your time. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050

Re: Koniuji Island pictures

Hello Randall - Yes, we have all of Bob Webster's Koniuji photographs. He was very generous to share them. We've made the whole-island shots viewable on the public site - the others are close-ups of the shoreline. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Randall Rathbun wrote: I believe you have 2 photos of Koniuji Island near Kasatochi Island. Perhaps the kind people at http://xpda.com/aleutians/koniuji/ might be willing to share some more? I believe it is Bob Webster who you already cite? bob(a)upperspace.com who has them. Just a thought since pictures seem so scarce.

Hi Terry -- that page must not have grabbed the latest text from our database. I'll look into it.

Re: Earthquake swarm between Aniakchak and Yantarni
by cheryl.cameron＠alaska.gov 10 Aug '12

Hello Matt- They're regional tectonic earthquakes. We have no indication that these earthquakes have anything to do with volcanism. This series of earthquakes, at this time, is not alarming to us. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Matt Dotseth wrote: Hello, I write a geology blog and would like to know if you would be able to answer a question for me (I'd much rather get this info from the horse's mouth!). My Google Earth/USGS Real Time Quake plugin is showing a lot of quakes ranging from mag 4.5 to lower magnitudes at a shallwo depth between Aniakchak and Yantarni volcanoes in the Aleutian arc. Have you looked into this at all? Given the shallow depth, my understanding is that this could be related to magma dike intrusion. Has AVO or USGS looked at this series of quakes? Is it common for the area? Any info you have is greatly appreciated, you guys do some great work up there!
