Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Kick 'em Jenny
Vertically exaggerated SeaBeam image shows Kick 'em Jenny and newly identified craters and domes discovered in March 2003. Kick 'em Jenny's summit occurs adjacent to the crater rim at a depth of ~ 185 m. The deepest point on Kick 'em Jenny's crater floor lies at ~264 m depth. The image's left side is drawn N-S (i.e. N towards the upper left). Tick marks along the margins are at 0.01 degree intervals, a spacing equivalent to 1.8-1.9 km. The distance between Kick 'em Jenny and Kick 'em Jack is about 4 km. Image courtesy of NOAA and Seismic Research Institute, 2003 (published in GVN Bulletin).

Kick 'em Jenny, an active submarine volcano 8 km off the N shore of Grenada, rises 1,300 m from the sea floor. Recent bathymetric surveys have shown evidence for a major arcuate collapse structure, which was the source of a submarine debris avalanche that traveled more than 15 km W. Bathymetry also revealed another submarine cone to the SE, Kick 'em Jack, and submarine lava domes to its S. These and subaerial tuff rings and lava flows at Ile de Caille and other nearby islands may represent a single large volcanic complex. Numerous eruptions have occurred since 1939, mostly documented by acoustic signals. Prior to the 1939 eruption, when an eruption cloud rose 275 m above the ocean and was witnessed by a large number of people in northern Grenada, there had been no written mention of the volcano. Eruptions have involved both explosive activity and the quiet extrusion of lava flows and lava domes in the summit crater; deep rumbling noises have sometimes been heard onshore. Recent eruptions have modified the morphology of the summit crater.
