 [No title]
For an interpretation of these data and previously recorded data, the reader should refer to several recent articles on volcano related seismicity on Alaskan volcanoes in Appendix G. The AVO seismic network was used to monitor twenty-three volcanoes in real time in 2000-2001.
New networks were installed at Mount Wrangell (one three-component station and three single-component stations,) in 2000-2001 and at Veniaminof Volcano (nine single-component stations) in 2001.
The seismic stations in the Veniaminof network were not recorded in 2001 because the telemetry network had not been completed before the end of the report period, thus was not considered to be seismically monitored.

Its caldera is filled by an ice field and where this reaches over the caldera rim glaciers are found on the volcano's sides (Miller et al, 1998).
Through its history Veniaminof has been relatively active with eruptions occurring in 1838, 1852, 1874, 1892, 1930, 1939, 1944, 1956, 1983, 1984 and 1993 to 1995 (Wallace et al, 2000).
The eruption of 1993-1995 consisted of a low level strombolian type that consisted of ash and steam (seen in picture 1), also during this eruption a small lava flow melted part of the ice field to form an oval shaped hole which can be seen in picture 2.
