1760-00-00		Gareloi: 1760	Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch), pg. 121, states Gareloi was active in 1760. Page 122 states that Gareloi was smoking in 1760.	asterisk_yellow.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=17&page=basic
1790-00-00		Gareloi: 1790	Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) states that Sarychev passed Gareloi on the twenty-fourth of September, 1790 and on June 17, 1791 and described Gareloi as a "very tall, snow-covered, fire-belching mountain." It is uncertain if an eruption was observed on either or both of these occasions. The English translation of Sarychev (translated from Russian in 1806 and 1807, republished 1969) makes no mention of "fire-belching" and instead simply states that Gareloi was covered in "eternal ...

1791-00-00		Gareloi: 1791	Coats (1950): minor explosive activity at Gareloi in 1791. Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) states that Sarychev passed Gareloi on the twenty-fourth of September, 1790 and on June 17, 1791 and described Gareloi as a "very tall, snow-covered, fire-belching mountain." It is uncertain if an eruption was observed on either or both of these occasions. Petroff (1884), Becker (1898), and Dall (1870) make no mention of this eruption.	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=19&page=basic
1792-00-00		Gareloi: 1792	Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch): Gareloi "belching fire until the end of May" and smoking during 1792.	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=20&page=basic
1828-00-00	1829-00-00	Gareloi: 1828 - 1829	Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch): Gareloi smoking during 1828. Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) also states that Gareloi was smoking during 1829. Miller and others (1998) combined these citations to make one eruption from 1828 until 1829. Simkin and Siebert (1994) reference only the 1829 eruption.	asterisk_yellow.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=21&page=basic
1873-00-00		Gareloi: 1873	Becker (1898) reports Gareloi active in 1873.	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=22&page=basic
1922-00-00		Gareloi: 1922	Coats (1950) reports a major explosive eruption at Gareloi in 1922.	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=23&page=basic
1927-00-00		Gareloi: 1927	Jaggar (1927) writes that Gareloi is "always fuming." and Jaggar (1928) writes that he visited Gareloi and Bogoslof volcanoes and that Gareloi was "sending up dense yellow fumes from its summit crater-cup."	asterisk_yellow.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=24&page=basic
1929-04-00	1930-00-00	Gareloi: 1929 - 1930	Coombs and others (2008) provide information about the 1929 eruption as follows: "The 1929 eruption is the largest historical eruption of Gareloi and also unique in its eruptive style and composition. The most detailed description of the eruption is given by oats (1959) who summarized the first-hand observations of William H. Dirks, Sr. (Coats, 1959; p. 2): 'In April of 1929, there was an eruption. A terrible quake * * * split the mountain from its crater right to the beach. Ashes fell, completely ...

1950-00-00	1951-00-00	Gareloi: 1950 - 1951	Jones (1951) reports that minor ash showers and fume emissions occurred during 1951 from Gareloi. Simkin and Siebert (1994) report that this eruption began in 1950 and continued until 1951. Jones (1952) reports that Gareloi was "weakly active during 1950," and "quieter during 1951." A May 3, 1950 Fairbanks Daily News article suggests that at least some of this activity was not an eruption: "Rear Admiral F.D. Wagner, USN, commander, Alaskan sea frontier, has received information from a naval ...

1952-01-17		Gareloi: 1952	Jones (1952) reports that on January 17th, 1952, "a column of grayish-brown fume was rising from the crater on the summit of Gareloi volcano."	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=42&page=basic
1980-08-07	1980-9-17	Gareloi: 1980	Coombs and others (2008) summarize the 1980 eruption: "On August 8, the crew of a Northwest Orient Airlines plane spotted a plume of ash that rose 35,000-40,000 ft above sea level (Anchorage Times, August 16, 1980, p. A3). David Evans of the USGS reported earthquakes whose epicenters were west of the Adak seismic network on August 8 and 9. Ash fall was not reported at Adak. Cloud cover mostly obscured further observations after August 10, although a photograph of the summit from August 13 shows ...

1982-01-15	1982-1-15	Gareloi: 1982	From Miller and others (1998): "On January 14, 1982, a magnitude 3.2-3.3 earthquake struck the area; the following day, January 15, a 7-9 km eruption cloud was observed on satellite imagery (Smithsonian Institution, 1982)." Smithsonian Institution (1982), SEAN v. 07, n. 02: "02/82 (SEAN 07:02) Large plume seen on satellite imagery	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=27&page=basic
1987-09-04		Gareloi: 1987	From Miller and others (1998):"On September 4, 1987, a commercial pilot observed a narrow flow-like feature on the east flank that extended from the north crater rim at 1500 m altitude down to at least 1100 m, below which it was obscured by clouds. Steam rose 100 m above the flow (?) and the crater was vigorously steaming (Smithsonian Institution, 1987)." Coombs and others (2008) note "A similar feature was observed from afar during field work in 2003 but we were unable to determine whether ...

1989-08-17		Gareloi: 1989	From Reeder (1992): "At 1430 on August 17, 1989, Evan Klett of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife observed from the Reeve Aleutian Airways Inc. 727 Boeing Jet, flying from Shemay Island to Adak Island, a grayish to black tephra plume that was about 700 m above the northern near summit crater of Gareloi volcano. The plume covered the top of the 400 m by 260 m near summit crater, which prevented Evan from seeing into the crater. The tephra plume was definitely originating from the summit crater."	exclamation.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=29&page=basic
1996-09-27		Gareloi: 1996	From the Smithsonian Institution (1996): "On 27 September the Aviation Weather Unit in Alaska received a pilot report of a minor eruption of ash and steam at Gareloi. The plume reportedly rose to 1,500 m altitude but was not visible on infrared satellite imagery suggesting it may have not ascended that high. As late as 5 December AVO had learned of no further sightings of activity at Gareloi."	asterisk_yellow.png	ye	50	http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Gareloi&eruptionid=46&page=basic
