Description

From Miller and others (1998) [1] : "Yunaska Island lies near the west end of the Islands of the Four Mountains group and is flanked by Chagulak and Amukta Islands on the west and the remainder of the group on the east. Yunaska Island is roughly oval in form and about 23 km long. It consists of two volcanic centers separated by a flat valley with moderately sloping walls. The western volcano, 950 m high, is the eroded remnant of a series of four overlapping stratocones [2] ; a group of cinder cones and fissure flows extends from the west end of the complex. This western volcano has presumably not been active in historical time.
"The eastern volcanic center, to which all recent Yunaska volcanism has been attributed, has been described by Nicolaysen and other (1992) in preliminary reports as a large shield volcano topped by two overlapping calderas. No age has been reported for caldera formation but the fresh morphology of the younger caldera and the non-glaciated nature of the associated pyroclastic rocks suggests it is at least Holocene in age. The older of the two calderas (caldera CI [3] ) has a diameter of 10-13 km, the younger (caldera CII) about 3 km. Low ridges and peaks along the northern and eastern shores of the island define the postulated caldera (see physiographic descriptions in Sekora, 1973 [4] ). Sinuous ridges and small cones, craters, and lava flows of the active field occur both within and outside caldera II. The most prominent flow extends 1.5 km south from the southwestern lip of caldera II but does not reach the sea. A second area of relatively young lava flows lies north of the caldera, and a smaller flow is situated on the east flank.
"Known cones and inferred lava vents outside the caldera are located within 1 km of the rim. Within the caldera is a 500 m cone that has its own small summit crater. Low relief on the eastern part of Yunaska Island implies that either the pre-caldera volcano had a shield-like form, or that a former cone has been subsequently destroyed. No hot springs or active fumaroles are known to exist on the island."

Name Origin

"Yunaska Island" is an Unangax name, published by Sarichev (1826) as "Os[trov] Yunaska" (Orth, 1971).

Yunaska Eruption Timeline

Yunaska 1817/4

April 7, 1817

Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) writes that Choris (Voyage pittoresque autour du monde, avec des portraits de sauvages d'Amerique, D'Asie, d'Afrique, et des iles du Grand ocean; des paysages, des vues maritimes, et plusieurs objets d'histoire naturelle; accompagne de descriptions par m. le baron Cuvier, et m. A. de Chamisso, et d'observations sur les cranes humains, par m. le docteur Gall, 1822, in French) reported smoking from Yunaska at the beginning of April, 1817.

Yunaska 1824

1824 — 1825

Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch) writes that Litke reported "renewed eruption," an "enormous eruption after long dormancy." in 1824. The English translation of Litke "A voyage around the world, 1826-1829) does not contain reference to this event. However, the English translation does not cover all of Litke's publications for this voyage, which he published in both Russian and French.(Dall (1870) writes that a "major eruption took place on Yunaska." Petroff (1884) writes that "[Y]unaska in violent eruption after a long repose." Becker (1898) reports this eruption as a "great eruption." Powers (1958) reports this eruption as an ash eruption.)
Veniaminov (as translated by Black and Geoghegan, 1984) writes that in 1825 "The peak on Iunaska Island, which burned in antiquity but then went out, also in time immemorial, exploded at the beginning of 1825 with a thunderous roar heard on Umnak. Its summit collapsed with an accompanying expulsion of burned rocks (gorely kamen'ia - pumice) which floated on the sea even until June. Since then it has smoked incessantly."
Sapper (1917) reports that Perrey said the eruption continued "until the end of June, with stones thrown out" leaving which year or years the eruption occurred in still uncertain.
Perhaps this description refers to this eruption from Yunaska; perhaps the eruption occurred around the end of 1824 and beginning of 1825, explaining the discrepancy in years. Khlebnikov (translated in 1994) seems to support this theory, as he relays what Davydov reported: "In the winter of 1824-1825 a mountain erupted on Iunaska Island. It was not very high and did not have a sharp peak. Toion Ivan Pan'kov, who was sent to this island with a party of Aleuts to hunt sea otters in the spring of 1825, found the appearance of the island completely altered. All the shores were covered with igneous rock, while thick smoke streamed from the mountain, which, when the nights were dark, glowed like fires. In June 1827, passing within sight of this island, we noticed smoke coming out of a mountain on the island."

Grewingk (1850, translated 2003 by Fritz Jaensch): writes that there was an expulsion of ashes from Yunaska in 1830.
Mushketov and Orlov (1893, translated in 1994 by Katharine Arndt) wrote: "In the same year [1830] an earthquake at the volcano Yunaka [sic; Yunaska?] and an eruption of flame and ash, in which there appeared a torrent which formed from melted snow or from rain and, like the sea water, was colored black." Mushketov and Orlov cite Grewingk (1850) and Perrey (1866).

Becker (1898) reports steam from Yunaska in 1873.

Powers (1958) reports smoke from Yunaska in 1929.

Yunaska 1937/11

November 2, 1937 — November 4, 1937

From the Anchorage Times (1937): "The weather bureau here [Seattle] said today [November 3) it received a radiogram from the Bureau of Education ship Boxer describing a violent volcanic eruption on Yunaska Island in the Aleutian chain west of Unalaska. The Boxer said it passed 15 miles northwest of Yunaska and that the island was in flames from the eruption. The disturbance seemed to be the most violent in the center, diminishing on the east and west ends."
A UP article published in the Nevada State Journal states that Isak Lystad, captain of the Boxer, reported the eruption sighted on November 2, and that "explosions could be heard from hundreds of miles" and that "smoke, fire, and ashes were ballooned thousands of feet into the air."
