Caption:	Looking down into the snow pit where one of six infrasound sensors was installed at ground level on February 9, 2021. The pyramid shaped shield helps minimize wind noise. The conduit running from the sensor to the main power and data hub is at the top of the photo. Although the sensors can work if buried in snow, the signals will be attenuated as the snowpack consolidates, so periodic shoveling is required.

Caption:	Narrow dark streaks of ash on top of snow extend >3 km from the crater of North Cerberus on Semisopochnoi Island. Clouds obscure much of the area in this image from 7 February 2021, but these ash streaks reveal that low-level explosive activity is taking place in the crater of North Cerberus.

Fumarolic activity, Steam

Caption:	Thin section of lava from the Cobweb Lava Flow, erupted from Aniakchak Peak ~400 years ago. The name "Cobweb" comes from B.R. Hubbard (1932), who called it the "Avernian Cobweb." According to Wes Hildreth (USGS), "The poisonous vapors of Avernus, Italy, killed many birds, and Hubbard witnessed the same at Aniakchak, which seems why he adopted this name." The video shows 3-5 mm wide aggregates of crystals suspended in a finer-grained groundmass of tiny crystals. The minerals under the cross-polarized light are plagioclase (gray/white), clinopyroxene (blues/reds/oranges), orthopyroxene (pale yellow-gray), and FeTi oxide minerals like magnetite and ilmenite (black). Most of the tiny minerals in the groundmass are plagioclase. They formed when the magma ascended to the surface and solidified as a lava. The larger minerals formed under higher temperatures (~850 C) deep underground.

Korovin

Caption:	Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a common volcanic gas that is released from magma within Earth’s upper crust. While SO2 is commonly released from Alaska’s active volcanoes, including Korovin, a recent increase in satellite detections of SO2 emissions from Korovin may be a sign of volcanic unrest. In sufficient quantity, SO2 can be readily measured from space due to its low quantity in background air. This image shows SO2 emissions from Korovin that were detected by the TROPOMI satellite sensor on October 26, 2020. In this image, the warmer colors represent larger quantities of SO2 measured within a column of atmosphere. These SO2 column densities are reported in Dobson Units (DU) where 1 DU = 2.85 x 10^-2 g of SO2/m^2. AVO will continue to monitor satellite detections of SO2 from Korovin, in combination with other volcano monitoring techniques, to evaluate ongoing activity at Korovin volcano.

Caption:	Clear satellite views in Planet Labs imagery on October 19, 2020 show the typical minor steam plume from the crater lake at Korovin. This image also shows the nearby volcanoes to the south, Konia and Kliuchef. Their summit regions are snow covered with no visible fumaroles or other signs of activity.

Caption:	Partly cloudy Worldview-2 image of Semisopochnoi with the North Cerebus crater rim just visible between clouds. The crater itself is filled with thick steam or clouds, but a narrow and diffuse possible gas plume is visible accross the image front North Cerebus to the east, consistent with westerly winds. Image is visible "RGB" bands.
