Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Segula
The 6 x 7 km Segula island is seen offshore from the SW. It has a prominent NNW-SSE-trending fissure that extends to sea level at both ends of the island. The summit contains a small, poorly defined caldera that has a scoria cone forming the high point of the island. Photo by Christina Neal, 2005 (Alaska Volcano Observatory, U.S. Geological Survey).

The 6 x 7 km island of Segula east of Kiska volcano consists of a conical stratovolcano cut by a prominent NNW-SSE-trending fissure that extends to sea level at both ends of the island. The northern end of the fissure is flooded by the sea to produce a long, narrow cove. Segula was constructed above a 100-m-deep submarine platform that extends eastward to Khvostof and Davidof islands. A submarine debris-avalanche deposit extends up to 18 km offshore to the north. The summit contains a small, poorly defined caldera that is partly overtopped on the south by a cinder cone that forms the high point of the island and on the north by extensive lava flows that reach the NE coast along a broad front. Another lava field on the SE coast originated from a cinder cone at 300 m elevation on the SE flank. No historical eruptions are known, but Nelson (1959) considered fresh lava flows on the N flank to possibly be only a few hundred years old.
