Description

From Smithsonian Institution, online database, accessed December 8, 2003: "The almost completely ice-covered Kukak volcano lies west of Hallo Bay near the NE end of a glacier-mantled range extending from Mount Katmai. Kukak volcano contains a vigorous fumarole field at the southern base of the hydrothermally altered northern summit and is the only one of the Denison-Steller-Kukak chain of volcanoes to display geothermal activity. Two reports of historical eruptions at Kukak from Hantke (1959) [1] appear to be erroneous. The report of a 1951 eruption is an apparent reference to a July 22, 1951 ashfall at Kukak Bay, which was attributed by Muller and others (1954) [2] to Martin volcano. A 1953 explosive "eruption" was single large puff of steam followed by steaming from caverns in Hook Glacier [2] ."

Name Origin

The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey reported the name "Kugak Volcano" for "Kukak Volcano" in 1908. The name was later officially changed to "Kukak Volcano" to agree with the name of nearby Kukak Bay (Orth, 1971).

Kukak Eruption Timeline

Martin (1913) writes "The easternmost volcano known on the Alaska Peninsula is Mount Kugak, which was probably active in 1889."
Wilson Fiske Erskine (1962) writes "Kukak is supposed to have erupted as late as 1889 * * *. The effects of Kukak's eruption on human life and civilization was relatively insignificant. The area is a barren country and the eruption was minor compared to that of Katmai's. Weather conditions at the time of Kukak's eruption also limited the area covered with volcanic debris. In a few years all signs of Kukak's blast were obliterated."

From Siebert and Simkin (2002-, accessed March 23, 2007): "[R]eports of historical eruptions at Kukak from Hantke (1959) appear to be erroneous. The report of a 1951 eruption is an apparent reference to a July 22, 1951 ashfall at Kukak Bay, which was attributed by Muller and others (1954) to Martin volcano." Miller and others (1998) doubt that Martin has had any historic eruptions either, stating: "all reports of eruption or ash emission [from Martin] are probably spurious, reflecting only the persistent and conspicuous steam plume."
Hantke (1959): Kugak "probably had an ash eruption in 1951." The July 22 date appears to belong to an event in 1953 (Muller and others, 1954; Hantke, 1959) rather than this 1951 event.

Kukak 1953/7

July 22, 1953

From Siebert and Simkin (2002-, accessed March 23, 2007): "A 1953 explosive "eruption" was single large puff of steam followed by steaming from caverns in Hook Glacier (Muller and others, 1954)."
Muller and others (1954) reads: "Kukak Volcano, which had been steaming steadily, emitted a single large puff of steam on July 22 according to the captain of the Fish and Wildlife Service's ship Dennis Wynn. At the end of July considerable steam was escaping from large caverns in Hook Glacier on the flank of Kukak Volcano, possibly indicating the position of newly activated vents."

Kukak 1997/6

June 3, 1997

McGimsey and Wallace (1999) write that "On Wednesday, June 3, 1997, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew reported greenish discoloration on snow and steaming from several vents on a 7,000-ft-high (~2,100 m) peak north and east of Mt. Katmai. A minor anomaly was noted on satellite imagery and the source of the activity was suspected to be either Snowy Mountain or Kukak Volcano, both of which have active fumaroles (Wood and Kienle, 1990). During the early 1980s, fumarolic activity was more vigorous at Kukak than at Snowy (C. Nye, oral communication). Both volcanoes are extensively ice covered [see fig. 9 in original text]. The fumarolic activity and lack of significant erosional dissection of the flanks suggests youthful activity; however, no historic eruptions have been reported."

McGimsey and others (2004) write that Willie Hall, a pilot with Kodiak Air Service, "reported seeing about 15 vents [fumaroles] on Kukak Volcano, which he described as deep holes in the summit ice field, with most on the upper west flank and about 3 on the east side. In his 23 years of flying over the area he had never seen fumaroles on Kukak before. Wood and Kienle (1990) describe 'a vigorous fumarole field on Kukak's northern peak [that] keeps that area free of ice and reveals the volcanic character of Kukak.' A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew reported in June of 1997 seeing steam rising from several vents from a high peak northeast of Mt. Katmai, presumably on Kukak (McGimsey and Wallace, 1999)."
