The
Amukta, Alaskan Volcano:
The Alaskan Observatory got a report
of an eruption at the Amukta volcano on an Aleutian Island. A pilot
was cruising around when he saw that the ash from the volcano was rising
1,000ft. Above the summit on September 17th. He recorded the same information
for the 18th too. The plume went 10 miles into the south before dissipating.
The volcano observatory also says that the volcano is an unknown, not seismic
monitored, and on an uninhabitied island. It erupted at least 5 times
since 1760, and the most up-to-date eruption being in 1987.

Loihi
Seamount:
The youngest volcano in the Hawaii chain
is the Loihi Seamount. It is 15 miles away from Kilauea. Many
Earthquake occurances tell you that the volcano is not dormant. The
top of the volcano is at 3178 ft. below sea level. It contains a
depression that is like a caldera.
Two rift zones go into the north and southeast. If the Lohi volcano
erupts as many times as Kilauea and Mauna Loa, it can reach sea level in
about ten-thousand years. This volcano's location is at 18.92 north
and 155.27 west. The volcano is still active. It last erupted
on July 26, 1996.
