Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Kasatochi
A 750-m-wide crater filled with a lake truncates the summit of Kasatochi. Crater walls rise to a maximum height of 314 m above the lake surface, which is less than 60 m above sea level in this 1961 photo. The volcano is located at the northern end of a shallow submarine ridge trending perpendicular to the Aleutian arc and occupies an island volcano 2.7 x 3.3 km wide.

Located at the northern end of a shallow submarine ridge trending perpendicular to the Aleutian arc, Kasatochi is small 2.7 x 3.3 km island volcano with a 750-m-wide summit crater lake. The summit reaches only about 300 m elevation, and the lake surface lies less than about 60 m above the sea. A lava dome is located on the NW flank at about 150 m elevation. The asymmetrical island is steeper on the northern side than the southern, and the crater lies north of the center of the island. Reports of activity from the heavily eroded Koniuji volcano to the east probably refer to eruptions from Kasatochi. A lava flow may have been emplaced during the first recorded eruption in 1760. A major explosive eruption in 2008 produced pyroclastic flows and surges that swept into the sea, extending the island's shoreline.
