Details for: Okmok
The broad, 35-km-wide Okmok shield volcano is truncated by two spectacular, largely overlapping, 10-km-wide calderas. Both calderas at this dominantly basaltic volcano were formed by voluminous eruptions of dacitic tephra and pyroclastic flows during the Holocene, one about 8250 years ago and the other about 2400 years ago. Numerous satellitic pyroclastic cones and lava domes dot the floor of the caldera and the flanks of the volcano. Explosive eruptions and lava flows have originated from cones within the caldera in historical time. Photo by John Reeder (Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys).
