Volcano	Date of Activity	Type of Activity
Kupreanof	7-22-94	pilot report of vigorous steam plume
Mount Veniaminof	7-30-931 to ?2	strombolian eruption; intermittent steam and ash bursts < 1km (3,208 ft) over volcano throughout year; lava flows issuing from the active cinder cone melt pit in summit ice.
Shishaldin Volcano	10-4-94	possible eruption; pilot report of a steam to 3 km (9,840 ft) with minor amounts of ash
Makushin Volcano	1-19-94	possible eruption; pilot report of steam and ash plume 1 km (3,208 ft) above summit
Mount Cleveland	4-29-94	possible eruption; pilot reports of robust steam plume with possible ash
Mount Cleveland	5-25-94	ash eruption; pilot report and satellite image of minor ash cloud to 11 km (36,080 ft); ashfall confined to north and east flank of the volcano; minor debris flows on southwest flank.
Mount Cleveland	10-20-94	possible eruption; satellite detection of "hot spot" at Mount Cleveland; no confirmation
Kanaga Volcano	4-93 3 to 10-13-944	steam and ash plumes, usually <1 km (3,208 ft) over the summit intermittently throughout 1994; avalanching of hot debris from blocky lava flow down the northwest flank into the sea; significant ash plumes to ~7.5 km (24,600 ft) altitude on 2-21, to ~4.5 km (14,760 ft) on 8-18

1 earliest known eruptive activity recorded by AVO 2 eruption possible continues in 1995 3 first sighting of increased steaming from Kanaga; AVO first received report 12-29-93 4 last eruptive activity inferred from satellite imagery

TABLE 2. Summary of FALSE ALARMS in 1994. A false alarm in defined as an eruption report or possible eruption report that is found to be normal fumarolic activity or weather-related or non-volcanic phenomena. Location of volcanoes shown in figure 1.

Volcano	Date of Activity	Type of Activity
Mount Sanford	9-30-94	false alarm; steam plume probably from snow/rock avalanche reported by pilot
Iliamna Volcano	4-12-94	false alarm; pilot reports of anomalous steam plume over Iliamna
Iliamna Volcano	6-30-94	false alarm; rock, snow, ice avalanche produces strong seismicity
Katmai Group	12-15-94	false alarm; meteorological cloud
Shishaldin Volcano	5-23-94	false alarm; meteorological cloud
Makushin Volcano	1-21-94	false alarm; meteorological conditions
