1784-00-00Vsevidof: 1784 Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) writes that Vsevidof was smoking in 1784, and had hot springs at its base.asterisk_yellow.pngye50http://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Vsevidof&eruptionid=106&page=basic
1790-05-30Vsevidof: 1790 Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) writes that Sarychev reported Vsevidof smoking in 1790. Coats (1950) reports smoke on May 30, 1790. The English translation of Sarychev is less clear - for the 30th of May, it reads: "The island Umnak is level on its western side, but elevated towards the north-east. It extends as far as the strait which separates it from Unalaschka, and terminates with mountains; several of which, rising above the others, are volcanic, and crowned with eternal ...

1830-00-00Vsevidof: 1830 Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) cites Veniaminov and writes that in 1830 there was renewed activity of a volcanic cone on the SW end of Umnak Island -- perhaps Recheshnoi. Sapper (1917) reports the date of this event as May 30, 1790, and as at Vsevidof. Coats (1950) also notes that Recheshnoi is deeply eroded and that this eruption probably took place at Vsevidof instead. The 1984 English translation of Veniaminov does not appear to contain reference to this event - the only ...

1878-00-00Vsevidof: 1878 From Miller and others (1998): "Recorded activity in 1878 may have been form a radial fissure eruption on the west flank; this event may have produced the youngest dacite flow, which extends west-southwest to Cape Kigushimkada (Byers, 1959)." Sapper (1917) wrote that Vsevidof had a brief flame and ash eruption and a new crater developed from which came steam and hot cooking mud. This new crater appeared between Vsevidof and the settlement. Sapper also notes that there were many hot springs. ...

1957-03-111957-3-12Vsevidof: 1957 From Miller and others (1998): "Another phreatic eruption, possibly from the west rift, occurred in March, 1957 (Byers, 1959, p. 305, citing article in Anchorage Times of March 12, 1957). Earthquakes were felt throughout southeast Umnak, and residents of Nikolski, the island's main village 24 km southwest of Vsevidof, reportedly observed discharge of steam and volcanic ash. However, in a subsequent article (Anchorage Times, March 15, 1957) a pilot reportedly observed no evidence of a volcanic ...

1999-01-28Vsevidof: 1999 From McGimsey and others (2004): "On January 28, a resident in Nikolski on Umnak Island called at 4 pm AST to report 'black smoke, dark puffing' issuing from the top of nearby Vsevidof Volcano. The weather was cold and clear, and a M6.1 regional earthquake had occurred in the area the previous evening, followed by numerous aftershocks. "AVO received no additional or subsequent reports of activity. Routine examination of satellite data by AVO remote-sensing specialists earlier in the week revealed ...
