Mount Pavlof

Mount Pavlof rises 8,261 feet above sea level, featuring a symmetrical cone shape with active vents on the north and east sides near the summit point.

The first documented climb to the peak occurred in 1928 when T. A. Jagger led an expedition team, recording their achievement in National Geographic magazine.

Russian explorers named the volcano Pavlovskoi, meaning Saint Paul, which Captain Lutke first published in navigation documents during 1836.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory monitors seismic activity, ash emissions, and thermal changes through a network of instruments and satellite imagery.

Since 1980, this volcano has generated over 40 recorded eruptions, sending ash clouds up to 37,000 feet high and impacting air traffic across Alaska.
