Details for: Fisher
This 1974 view shows part of the interior of Fisher caldera on Unimak Island in the eastern Aleutian Islands. Fisher is an 11 x 18 km caldera that formed about 9100 years ago during the eruption of compositionally zoned ash flows that overtopped topographic barriers more than 500 m in elevation. The caldera contains two large lakes and a smaller lake that drains through a notch in the south caldera rim. There has been one poorly documented historical eruption from Fisher in 1826.
