1977-03-061977-3-8Pyre Peak: 1977 From Miller and others (1998): "In early March, 1977 the crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mellon reported eruptive activity. Eight lava fountains, up to 90 m high were noted along a radial rift about 1 km long and about 2.5 km southwest of the summit. At least two tongues of lava were extruded. The larger flow, 1 km wide, extended 1 km south. Neither tongue entered the sea. Pyroclastic material was also produced during the event. Dense clouds containing black ash and incandescent fragments ... More informationexclamation.pngye50http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Seguam&eruptionid=87&page=basic
1992-12-271992-12-30Pyre Peak: 1992 From McGimsey and others (1995): "On December 27, 1992, U.S. Coast Guard pilots reported an ash cloud to 1200 m above Pyre Peak and extending 24 km north. Intermittent, localized bursts of ash rising 100-200 m and ash accumulation on the south flank were observed on December 30. The vent was confirmed to be a satellite cone located 1.5 km south of Pyre Peak at the north end of a fissure that produced lava fountains in 1977. The activity apparently subsided soon thereafter. No subsequent activity ... More informationexclamation.pngye50http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Seguam&eruptionid=88&page=basic
1993-05-281993-8-19Pyre Peak: 1993 From Miller and others (1998): "Explosive ash eruptions along with a lava flow were reported by Coast Guard observers from July 31, 1993 through August 19, 1993; ash clouds were reported to altitudes of 2,500 m at times during this interval." However, eruptive activity was reported from Seguam as early as May 28. 1993, and this may be the start of this eruption (Smithsonian Institution, 1993): "A small ash burst, rising through clouds near Pyre Peak, was reported by the U.S. Coast Guard on ...
