Geological Summary

The Anjuisky (Anyuy) volcano group consists of fissure vents and small pyroclastic cones, the largest of which is 120-m high and is capped by a 300-m-wide crater. The initial fissure eruptions produced trachybasaltic lava flows 15-17 km long that covered an area of 100 km². The most recent eruptions were considered by the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Vlodavetz and Piip, 1959) to have occurred between about 1300 and 1700 CE from Aniusk (Monni) cone, based on morphological evidence. Later work (Ignatiev, 1994) showed that Monni was partially destroyed by glaciers and phreatic explosions produced by glacial meltwater flowing into the vent. Lava flows from Maly Anyuy volcano flowed onto glacial ice, and explosions induced by glacial meltwater destroyed the cone. The Monni lava flows dammed up drainages, forming lakes. During an early Holocene period of warming, large creeks overflowed from these lakes and deposited fluvial materials. The cone and lava flow are located between the Maly Anyuy and Bolshoy Anyuy rivers, about 75 km SSE of the community of Keperveyem.

Eruptive History

The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Anjuisky. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 12,000 years ago, information might be found on the Anjuisky page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).

This compilation of synonyms and subsidiary features may not be comprehensive. Features are organized into four major categories: Cones, Craters, Domes, and Thermal Features. Synonyms of features appear indented below the primary name. In some cases additional feature type, elevation, or location details are provided.

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.

Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data Services map showing 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 Anjuisky. 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.
