The slow eruption of lava in the summit crater of Great Sitkin Volcano continues, with occasional small earthquakes recorded. No activity was seen in satellite or webcam views of the volcano. 

The current lava flow began erupting in July 2021. No explosive events have occurred since a single event in May 2021.

Local seismic and infrasound sensors and web cameras are used to monitor Great Sitkin along with regional infrasound and lightning networks and satellite data.

Unrest at Shishaldin Volcano continues, with occasional small earthquakes and mild tremor recorded over the past day. Weak steaming from the summit was observed in partly cloudy satellite and webcam views.

The last significant ash-producing eruption occurred in November 2023. 

Local seismic and infrasound sensors, web cameras, and a geodetic network are used to monitor Shishaldin Volcano. In addition to the local monitoring network, AVO uses nearby geophysical networks, regional infrasound and lighting data, and satellite images to detect eruptions.
