[ 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.

WOVOdat
Single Volcano View Temporal Evolution of Unrest Side by Side Volcanoes |
WOVOdat is a database of volcanic unrest; instrumentally and visually recorded changes in seismicity, ground deformation, gas emission, and other parameters from their normal baselines. It is sponsored by the World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.
GVMID Data on Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure The Global Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure Database GVMID, is aimed at documenting and improving capabilities of volcano monitoring from the ground and space. GVMID should provide a snapshot and baseline view of the techniques and instrumentation that are in place at various volcanoes, which can be use by volcano observatories as reference to setup new monitoring system or improving networks at a specific volcano. These data will allow identification of what monitoring gaps exist, which can be then targeted by remote sensing infrastructure and future instrument deployments. |
| EarthScope Consortium SAGE seismic stations/networks | EarthScope Consortium operates the NSF Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (GAGE) and NSF Seismological Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (SAGE). The linked map shows the location of seismic stations from all available networks (permanent or temporary) within a radius of 0.18° (about 20 km at mid-latitudes) from the given location of Kuril Arc at 45.0°N. Users can customize a variety of filters and options in the left panel. Note that if there are no stations are known the map will default to show the entire world with a "No data matched request" error notice. |
| Large Eruptions of Kuril Arc at 45.0°N | Information about large Quaternary eruptions (VEI >= 4) is cataloged in the Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA). |
| EarthChem | EarthChem develops and maintains databases, software, and services that support the preservation, discovery, access and analysis of geochemical data, and facilitate their integration with the broad array of other available earth science parameters. EarthChem is operated by a joint team of disciplinary scientists, data scientists, data managers and information technology developers who are part of the NSF-funded data facility Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA). IEDA is a collaborative effort of EarthChem and the Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS). |
