Summit Elevation 8261 ft (2518 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
Unrest continues at Pavlof Volcano. Elevated surface temperatures at the summit of the volcano were observed in one satellite image during the last 24 hours. Clouds obscured clear views of the summit in the web camera. Nothing significant detected in seismic or pressure sensor data over the past day.
The degree of unrest at Pavlof can change quickly, and it remains possible for ash and steam emissions to begin with little or no warning. AVO is closely monitoring the volcano.

AVO scientists conduct daily checks of earthquake activity at all seismically-monitored volcanoes, examine web camera and satellite images for evidence of airborne ash and elevated surface temperatures, and consult other monitoring data as needed.
