Eruptive History

There is data available for 0 confirmed eruptive period.

[ 1967 Apr 26 ] Discredited Eruption

Gushchenko (1979, p.34, entry 191): "UNDERWATER VOLCANO, 45°04'N*, 147°14'E, 17, — 1350 abs.m. Date of eruption: 1967. The site of the underwater eruption is located near Iturup Island, 17.5 km from the coast. At a depth of 1350 m, an increased heat flow value was noted. At a point located 4.5 km to the south, lava and ash were found. At the site of an anomalous heat flow value of 3.6x10-6 cal/cm2, an increased concentration of H2SiO3 was noted — 10-12 mg/l, the background reached 5-6 mg/l. Gorshkov A.P., oral communication. *The latitude of 45°01'N seems more likely. In this case, the location of the Sudetes eruption falls on an underwater bank with a mark of -678 m." [Google Translate, 7/2025] That corrected location corresponds to a nearby seamount with a depth of 930 m noted by Antonov (1991, pers. comm.), and generalized bathymetry seen in Google Earth data. | Although described as an eruption, the unsourced oral communication from Gorshkov seems to be describing possible hydrothermal activity and nearby dredging during a research cruise. No other known sources have reported eruptive activity from this location.
