Great Sitkin Island

The northern portion of the island is dominated by the complex Great Sitkin Volcano which rises to a height of 5,710 feet (1,740 m).[2] The Naval Station had only around 10 people supporting it by 1949, but was in operation until 1963 and the remains of the oil tanks are still on the island and are an environmental hazard.[4] On October 26, 1965, Liberty Ship Ekaterini G. (formerly Josiah G. Holland) ran aground after losing her propeller in heavy seas.[10] The study, with seismic imaging of the velocity structure, reveals two magma reservoirs at different depths and locations relative to the volcano edifice.[10] The spatial and temporal migration of seismicity back and forth between the northwestern and southeastern island may be explained by the alternating eruptive activity of the two imaged reservoirs.
