Description: Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) reports that in 1796, Amak "with active crater (?)." Grewingk also writes that Amak has been dormant at least since 1804, when Krusenstern viewed the island. Marsh (in Wood and Kienle, 1990) states that "granular, blocky leveed flows have erupted in historic times."
