Mount Amukta, Active stratovolcano in Aleutian Islands, United States.

Mount Amukta rises 3,497 feet above sea level on a circular island measuring 7.7 kilometers in diameter within the Islands of Four Mountains chain.

Between 1786 and 1791, the volcano experienced a series of documented eruptions, marking its first recorded period of significant volcanic activity.

The Aleutian Islands, including Mount Amukta, represent generations of indigenous Aleut people who developed methods to survive in this volcanic environment.

Access to Mount Amukta requires specialized transportation arrangements, including air travel from Anchorage followed by boat navigation through coastal waters.

The volcano stands on an east-west trending arcuate ridge, suggesting the presence of an ancient caldera measuring approximately 6 kilometers in diameter.
