An aerial view shows the 1992 lava dome of Bogoslof Island, the
summit of a largely submarine stratovolcano located in the
Bering Sea 50 km behind the main Aleutian arc. The 1992 lava
dome grew to a height of 100 m in July at the northern tip of
Bogoslof Island. The island is about 1.5 x 0.6 km wide, and due
to its frequent eruptive activity and energetic wave action, has
changed shape dramatically since first mapped in the late
1700's. Type/Process: Lava Dome Volcanic Status: Historical
