Tanaga

Tanaga, called Kusuuginax̂ in Aleut, is a 5,924-foot stratovolcano on Tanaga Island in the far western Aleutians of Alaska. Part of the Aleutian Range, it stands with Mount Takawangha just to the east and belongs to the tectonically active volcanic belt along Alaska’s southern edge. Tanaga is one of the prominent volcanic peaks in the Aleutian chain and has had three known eruptions since 1763. Its most recent confirmed eruption occurred in 1914 and produced lava flows, while nearby Mount Takawangha is noted to have last erupted around 1550.
