Mount Pavlof or Pavlof Volcano is a stratovolcano of the Aleutian Range on the Alaska Peninsula.It has been one of the most active volcanoes in the United States since 1980, with eruptions recorded in 1980, 1981, 1983, 1986–1988, 1996–1997, 2007, 2013, twice in 2014, 2016, and again in 2021-2022.
The final eruptions in the creation of Banks Peninsula in New Zealand occurred about 9 million years ago. A major eruption of Gran Canaria took place around 14 million years ago. Approximately 23.03 million years BP, the Neogene period and Miocene epoch begin. Cerro Guacha, Bolivia; 5.6–5.8 Ma (Guacha ignimbrite). [61]

On December 13, 2022, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory determined that the eruption had ended. Over the course of the eruption, 111 million m 3 (29 billion U.S. gal) of lava had been effused, and the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu had risen 143 meters (469 ft), since the beginning of the eruption on September 29, 2021.

Most documented historical eruptions have originated from Mt. Young, although Coats (1950) considered that both Sugarloaf and Lakeshore Cone within the caldera could have been active during historical time. [3] [4] [5] Semisopochnoi's last known volcanic eruption took place from February 2021 to May 2023. [3]
The amount of geothermal heat being emitted by Wrangell increased from the 1950s to the 1980s, raising the possibility of a future eruption. The heat flux was high enough to melt ice around the craters and create ice caves and small lakes in the north crater, with about 100 million cubic meters of ice melted by 1986. Since then heat output has ...
