Kiska volcano eruptions
Kiska Volcano is an active stratovolcano located on the northern end of Kiska Island and measures 4,006 feet (1,221 m) high.
The last big explosive eruption occurred on January 24, 1962, followed by a second eruption that produced a lava flow on March 18, 1964.
Since then the volcano is more or less in a dormant phase, sometimes emitting steam and ash plumes as well as smaller lava flows.
Is it going to erupt again. Let see what’s going on in the next few weeks.
