Davidof Volcano

Davidof Volcano rises 328 meters above sea level as part of a collapsed caldera system consisting of five small islands in the Aleutian archipelago.

The volcano's formation dates back to the late Tertiary period when a significant collapse event created the current 2.7-kilometer-wide caldera structure.

Native Aleutian communities have maintained connections to these volcanic islands, incorporating their presence into traditional knowledge and navigation practices.

Access to Davidof Volcano requires careful planning, specialized transportation arrangements, and consideration of weather conditions due to its remote location.

The caldera floor extends 80 meters below sea level, while the surrounding islands emerge from a submarine platform reaching toward Segula Island.
