The most active volcano of the Aleutian arc, Pavlof is a 2519-m-high Holocene stratovolcano that was constructed along a line of vents extending NE from the Emmons Lake caldera.
Unlike Pavlof Sister, Pavlof has been frequently active in historical time, typically producing strombolian to vulcanian explosive eruptions from the summit vents and occasional lava flows.
The largest historical eruption of Pavlof took place in 1911, at the end of a 5-year-long eruptive episode; a fissure opened on the northern flank of the volcano, ejecting large blocks and issuing lava flows.

From Smithsonian Institution, online database, accessed December 8, 2003: "Located at the end of a chain of volcanoA vent in the surface of the Earth through which magma and associated gases and ash erupt; also, the form or structure (usually conical) that is produced by the ejected material.
During a typical caldera-forming eruption, the magma chamber is partially emptied and large amounts of ash and pyroclastic debris are extruded.

 Pavlof Volcano, Alaska
USGS geologist Tina Neal reports from HVO's sister observatory in Anchorage (AVO) that Pavlof, the recently awakened volcano at the tip of Alaska Peninsula, is spewing fiery fountains of lava up to 900 feet in the air.
Pavlof is the most active volcano in Alaska, having erupted 40 times since the late 1700s.
Rivers of hot water carrying a jumble of broken rock and ash, or "mudflows", which clog river channels and cause flooding on the flanks of the volcano, may also be produced.
